Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The point slope form of a line is 
where 
. We write
Since the line is parallel to the line shown it will have the same slope. To find m, count the slope from each marked point on the graph. Count the rise then the run and create a fraction rise/run. The slope is 6/4 which simplifies to 3/2. Now substitute it for m.
The horizontal distance between the base of the ladder and the wall is: 11.8 foot
Using the Pythagorean triples, one side is 3 units long, one side is 4 units long, and one side is 5 units long. To find the area of a right triangle, multiply length times width. Then divide total by two.
So,
(3•4)/2= 6 units
After scaling units, you should get 24 units.
It is proportional because we increase y.
