Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The key here is knowing that the equation of the line that passes through these points is same
Thus having (6,14) and (0,0), the slope is as follows;
m = y2-y1/x2-x1 = 0-14/0-6 = -14/-6 = 7/3
Now we can use this slope here to get the value of y in the question
All we need to do is tie write the equation of the line for between the points (6,14) and (2,y)
That would be;
7/3 = y-14/1-6
7/3 = y-14/-5
cross multiply;
-35 = 3(y-14)
-35 = -3y + 42
-3y = -35-42
-3y= -77
y = -77/3
y = 77/3
Answer: 20%
Step-by-step explanation: The same number applies here. Think about it this way, let's say you have a friend named Sofia and she has 3 dollars more than you, how many dollars do you have less than Sofia? 3 dollars. That's the easiest way I can explain it.
Let f be the height of the fir trees
Let p be the height of the pine trees
We know from the problem that
f + p = 21 and 4f = 24 + p
rearrange the 2nd equation to get p = 4f - 24 and substitute into the other equation
so...
f + 4f - 24 = 21
5f - 24 = 21
5f = 45
f = 9 - height of the fir tree
substitute back into the 1st equation
9 + p = 21
p = 12 - height of the pine tree
