If you graph this, your first point will be at (0,5), as the ramp is at the warehouse door but 5 feet up. The second point is (10,0) as it is touching the ground but it's 10 feet away from the warehouse.
To find slope, you do (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).
When substituting in the variables, you get (0-5)/(10-0), which is -5/10, which is simplified to -1/2. Of course, that is when the warehouse is Quadrant II. If you look at it from another point of view, the slope will be positive so your answer is A) 1/2.
If this was unclear feel free to comment :)
5x6 = 30 divided in half because its a triangle
=15
2x3 = 6
15-6 = 9
The key idea is that, if a vector field is conservative, then it has curl 0. Equivalently, if the curl is not 0, then the field is not conservative. But if we find that the curl is 0, that on its own doesn't mean the field is conservative.

Answer:
y = -2x - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>1) Find the slope of the line.</u>
The slope of the original line is the same as the slope of the parallel line.
Slope formula:

In this case you can choose any 2 set of points on the table.
=
=
= -2
So the slope of the line is -2
<u>2) Use the point-slope formula to find the equation of the line.</u>
Point-slope formula:

Now plug in the point (0, -5) and the slope -2 into the equation.
y - (-5) = -2(x - 0)
y + 5 = -2(x - 0)
To solve the equation first apply the distributive property.
y + 5 = -2x + 0
y + 5 = -2x
Next, subtract 5 from sides.
y = -2x - 5
You know have your equation in point-slope form!
Since this is an improper fraction, you simplify it into a mixed number.
4 goes into 6 1 time. 2 left left over, resulting in 1 2/4. Simplify that into
1 1/2
