In "The Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar Allan Poe, the quote “succumbed to the prostrating power of her destroyer” refers to Madeline's condition shortly after the narrator's arrival. It means that she could not resist against her illness any longer and has passed away.

First, find the equation of the line.
the slope is given, so y=-5x+b
now use the given point to find b: 228=-5*(-3)+b, b=228-15=213

so the equation of the line is y=-5x+213

when y=517: 517=-5x+213
304=-5x
x=-60.8

<span>Yes. I believe the US should adopt a policy of at modified profiling. It is pretty clear who the typical threat is to airlines, I think the demographics that fall outside of that group can face a lesser degree of scrutiny. I do realize that this is not a popular belief and any idea with the word 'profiling' in it won't be accepted. But I also think scrutinizing an elderly woman is completely unnecessary.</span>
