***NOTE*** we are going to use the rise over run formula to solve this problem

Joe climbed a mountain with a rise of 1, 200 feet and a run of 1, 500 feet.
So, the slope would be:

1, 200 over 1, 500

which can be simplified...

1,200/1,500 = 12/15 = 4/5

When we solve for slope for Bob, we do the same thing.

He climbed a mountain with a rise 900 feet and a run of 1, 000 feet.

So, it would look like this after we simplify it...

900/1,000 = 9/10

Finally, since Bob's mountain has the largest slope (or fraction), that means that he climbed the steepest mountain.

I hope this helps! :) Let me know if you need help with anything else! I'd be happy to help you!!

By copying and completing the working below, work out 3 + 1 16 Give your answer as a fraction in its simplest form.
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Assuming the question is:  3 + 1 16  [I see no "working below."

Step-by-step explanation:

3 + 1 16

48/16 + (16/16 + 1/16)  [Make all numbers into fractions using 16 as the denominator.  E.g. 48/16 = 3.

Add:  48/16 + (16/16 + 1/16)

  (48+16+1)/16

=63/16

[Also equal to 3 15/16]

The lines y=3x-1 and y=ax+2 are perpendicular if a=___
mezya [45]

Answer:

a = \frac{-1}{3}.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of line in the form .

y = mx + c

Where m is the slope and c is the y- intercept .

As given

The lines y=3x-1 and y=ax+2 are perpendicular .

Here 3 is slope for equation of line  y=3x-1 and a is slope for equation of line

y=ax+2 .

Now by using properties of the perpendicular lines property .

When two lines are perpendicular than slope of one line is negative reciprocal of the other line .

Thus

a = \frac{-1}{3}

Therefore a = \frac{-1}{3}.
