Answer:

y = 36 - \frac{3}{4}x

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing parameters are:

h = 36in --- height of rails

The rate of decrement is: 9 inches for every 12 horizontal inches.

Required

The function

First, we represent the rate (r) as a fraction.

r = -\frac{9}{12} ---- negative, because it decreases

Simplify

r = -\frac{3}{4}

So, the function is:

y = h + r * x

Where:

x \to distance from top

So, we have:

y = 36 - \frac{3}{4}x

The current value of a baseball card is 50 times its original value v (in dollars). The baseball card is worth $62. Write and so
ehidna [41]
If the current value of the baseball car is 50 times its original value, its original value will be its current value divided by 50.

Let v represent the current value of the baseball card. We know form our problem that $62 is 50 times the original value, v, of the baseball card, so translating this statement to an equation we get:
62=50v
v= \frac{62}{50}
v=1.24

We can conclude that the original value of the baseball card was $1.24.

In the figure find the value of x and y
otez555 [7]

Answer:

x = 8°, y = 86°

Step-by-step explanation:

the other base angle inside the triangle must be 'y' as well because two sides are congruent

y = 180-94 or 86°

x = 180-(2x86) = 180 - 172 or 8°
