to find the hypotenuse (or the ramp in question 4) you can use the equation

with a and b being the 3 feet and 9 feet and c being the unknown (ramp).
So if you plug 3 and 9 into the equation, it looks like this.

then square them.

simplify.

take the square root of both sides.

is approx. 9.5 so the answer would be H.
Answer a because...................
Input (x-value)
Output (y-value)
You need to find the x-value that produces a y-value of -1. Since you know:
y = -1 Use the rule, and substitute/plug this into the equation
y = -2x + 33 Plug in -1 for "y" in the equation since y = -1
-1 = -2x + 33 Subtract 33 on both sides
-1 - 33 = -2x + 33 - 33
-34 = -2x Divide -2 on both sides to get "x" by itself

17 = x
An input of 17 yields an output of -1
The main Answer is X=3/2
Incase you need it in decimal point it’s X=1.5 and Mixed number form it’s X=1 1/2
