Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is defined as the rise over the run.  Our rise is the difference between the heights in the beams which is 7 feet (because the shorter beam is 7 feet shorter than the taller beam).  Our run is the distance between the 2 beams which is 40 feet.  Rise over run is also the same thing as the tangent ratio, which is the side opposite over the side adjacent to the angle of inclination.  Therefore,

tan(x) = 7/40 so the slope of the ramp is 7/40

Determine the type of boundary line and shading for the graph of the inequality 5x + y greater than or equal to −10. (5 points)
goldfiish [28.3K]

The correct answer is d. Solid line with shading on the side that includes the origin

We can tell this for two reasons. Firstly, since it is "greater than or equal to" we use a solid line. If it were just "greater than" than we would have used a dotted line.

Secondly, to tell if the origin should be shaded is by plugging in (0,0) and seeing if it is a true statement. If it is true, it is shaded.

5x + y ≥ -10

5(0) + 0 ≥ -10

0 + 0 ≥ -10

0 ≥ -10 (TRUE)
