The answer is: y = -3/2 x + 8
Graph:
To find the answer we use the formula;
y-y1 = M1 (x - x1)
y-2 = -3/2 (x-4)
When fully solved: the answer is:
y = -3/2 x + 8
Yes it is, and don't worry, I hate school too! Amazing username!
Let a and b represent the heights of the corresponding buildings (in meters).
... a = b +271 . . . . . . . a is 271 meters taller than b
... 2b -a = 211 . . . . . . if a is subtracted from twice b, the result is 211
Use the expression for a in the first equation to substitute for a in the second.
... 2b - (b+271) = 211
... b = 482 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify and add 271
... a = b +271 = 753
Building a is 753 meters tall; building b is 482 meters tall.
700x0.08= 56 Hope this helps
