<h3>
Answer: -4</h3>
==========================================================
Explanation:
We can pick any two rows from the table to get the (x,y) points needed to find the slope.
Let's say we pick the second and third rows
Subtract the y values: 14-6 = 8
Subtract the x values in the same order: 1-3 = -2
Divide the differences: 8/(-2) = -4
The slope is -4
--------------------------------------------------
You can use the slope formula
Let's say the points are (x1,y1) = (1,14) and (3,6)
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (6-14)/(3-1)
m = -8/2
m = -4
It's the same basic idea as the previous section. You subtract the y values together (y2-y1) and the x values together (x2-x1) and divide the differences to get m. The order of subtraction doesn't matter as long as you stay consistent. If you do something like y2-y1 and x1-x2, then you'll get the wrong slope value.
Remember
ab+ac=a(b+c0
3x+3x+5+5
2(3x)+2(5)
2(3x+5)
2nd option
24/.30 is how you would get your answer and 80
Answer:
13 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The ladder forms a right triangle with the wall that has legs of 5 and 12. We need to solve for the length of the ladder, which in this case, is the hypotenuse of the right triangle. You could use the Pythagorean Theorem but there's an easier way to do this. We can use the 5 - 12 - 13 Pythagorean triple so we know that the length of the ladder is 13 m.
