A hiker is walking down a mountain. She walked​ 5,978 feet in 17 minutes. In that​ time, she descended​ 1,024 feet from the top

of the mountain. She then walked​ 3,972 feet in 7 minutes. In that​ time, she descended 500 more feet. Express the average rate of change in altitude of the hiker from her starting point to her ending point as a unit rate.

Answer:

63.5 feet/minute

Step-by-step explanation:

She first descended 1,024 feet in 17 minutes

Then she descended 500 feet in 7 minutes

The total feet descended is 1,024 + 500 = 1,524 feet

The total time to descend is 17 + 7 = 24 minutes

The average rate of change in altitude is  

Altitude descended / time

1,524 feet / 24 minutes

63.5 feet /minute

780, or C, is correct.  Since 9.75 is 1/80th of the actual measurement, we can set up an equation like this:

9.75 = 1/80x

Then multiply each side by 80:

780 = x

The actual building's height is 780 ft.

We can check this answer by plugging in 780 for x in the original equation:

9.75 = 1/80(780)

9.75 = 9.75

How do you tell if a number is irrational or rational?
Korvikt [17]
A rational number is any number that can be expressed as a fraction
(ex: -5/2, 4 1/7, and 8/13)

An irrational number is any number that cannot be expressed as a fraction; a non-repeating, non-terminating decimal (ex: pi, 0.121231234...)

Hope this helps! :)

Which equations below represent lines that are perpendicular to the line that contains (1, -2) and (3, 4)? (CHECK PICS FOR ANSWE
Gala2k [10]

First, let's find the slope of the line from the points given.

m = (4 - - 2) / (3 - 1)

m = 6 / 2

m = 3

Secondly, we know that a line perpendicular to the original must have a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of the original. For the given points, the opposite reciprocal slope would be -1/3.

Now, we can put all of the equations below into slope intercept form and find the ones that have a slope of -1/3.

Equation 1: Correct

y = -1/3x - 5

Equation 2: Incorrect

y = 3x - 3

Equation 3: Incorrect

y - 2 = 3(x + 1)

y - 2 = 3x + 1

y = 3x + 2

Equation 4: Correct

x + 3y = 9

3y = -x + 9

y = -1/3x + 3

Equation 5: Incorrect

3x + y = -5

y = -3x - 5

Hope this helps!! :)
