Answer:
14.3 feet.
14.3 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem forms a right triangle in which:
The Vertical Leg of the Right Triangle = 3 feet
The Horizontal Leg of the Right Triangle =14 feet
We are to determine the length of the broken part of the tree. This is the Hypotenuse of the Right Triangle,
Using Pythagoras Theorem

Answer:
- The slope is 1/2
- The equation that represents this function is x -2y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Intercepts</em>
The table shows the x-intercept to be (2, 0), and the y-intercept to be (0, -1). These are not matched by any of the answer choices.
<em>Slope</em>
The slope is ...
slope = (change in y)/(change in x) = (0 -(-1))/(2 -0) = 1/2
<em>Equation</em>
You can choose the equation by seeing if it works for a couple of points. You know the last equation is incorrect, because that slope-intercept form has the y-intercept as +1, not -1.
