The slope, or gradient, of the line is 6/-3 which is -2. The gradient is -2.
Answer:
approximately 550,390,000 km
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a ratio problem; the ratio of the length to width is constant (and therefore equal):
4 /6 = 15 / x
Now, with a ratio, we may do any allowable algebra operation: cross-multiply, invert both sides, multiply or divide both sides by the same amount, etc.
Let's cross-multiply:
4x = (15)(6)
x = 90/4
x = 22.5 in.
Y=68+4x
100=68+4x
-68=-68
32=4x
Divide both sides by 4
x=it will take 8 min. for the water to reach 100 degrees
y=total degrees
x=# of minutes
You would solve it by multiplying the sides of the triangle
