120x+45y+50z=C
This equation models this situation where C is the total cost
You need to draw out the triangle and then use the rules of a right triangle with tangent because you have the opposite side and you are trying to find the adjacent side.
Lets look at it as the Pythagorean theorem, so A²+B²=C²
First step: find the X (a) and the Y (b)
|6-0| = 6
|-4-2|= 6
Second step: 6²+6²=c²
36+36=C²
72=C²
√72=√C²
8.49=C
your final answer would be 8.49 units
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the line needs to be determined first:

Now let's use that and one of the coordinates to write an equation in point-slope form:

and, simplifying,

Now let's multiply everything by 10 to get rid of the fractions:
10y - 50 = 7x - 56
and
-7x + 10 y = -6
Apparently, they do not like to lead with negatives, which is not uncommon:
7x - 10y = 6
So his model is not correct.
