Today, the Great Pyramid at Giza near Cairo, Egypt stands 137 meters tall, coming to a point.Its base is a square with each side
measuring 230 meters wide. What is the slope of the pyramid?
1 answer:
Hope you can see the picture and understand the drawings.
It can seem complex at first but you just have to think it through.
I use pythagoras' theorem to find the diagonal of the base square and then use that information along with the height with the aid of that ever so handy pythagoras' theorem to find the length of the slope.

As given he made 3/5 of basket he shot.
So we can find number of basket made by Everett equal to 3/5 of total number of shot .
So if total number of shot is 60.
Then the number of basket made by Everett =
of 60.
So the number of basket made by Everett in 60 shots = 36.
So we can find number of basket made by Everett equal to 3/5 of total number of shot .
So if total number of shot is 60.
Then the number of basket made by Everett =
So the number of basket made by Everett in 60 shots = 36.
Firts we need to find the rate of change, or in other words, the slope of the line.
Question 1:
a)
For this we can take two points in the form (years, salary). Then we can define as year 0 the year when Gary starts to work. In this year the salary is $58,550. The first point is (0, $58,550)
The next point we can take is at the year 10, when the salary of Gary will be $71,950. The second point is (10, $71,950)
b) Now that we have the two points, we can use the slope formula to get the rate of change. The slope formula is, for two points A and B:
In this case, we can call the points A(0, $58,550) and B(10, $71,950). Using the formula:
c) "The rate of change in Gary's salary is $1340 per year."
Question 2:
a) The slope intercept form of a line is:
Where:
y is the output of the function.
x is the input of the function. (we provide the function with a value for x and the function give us a value of y)
m is the slope of the line. We calculate it in question 1.
x1 is the x coordinate of a point we choose.
y1 is the y-coordinate of the same point of x1.
In this case, we know:
m = 1340;
And we can take the point (0, $58,550), thus:
x1 = 0
y1 = 58,550
b) Now we need to use all this values and use the slope-intercept form:
And solve to get:
Question 3:
a) Now we have a equation for the salary, we can use this to find the salary in 13 years. We just need to replace x = 13 in the equation:
B) The salary of Gary in 13 years will be $75,970.
