Mr. Brady is using a coordinate plane to design a treasure hunt for his students. The hunt begins at the flagpole. The first clu

e is hidden 5 units north of the flagpole. The second clue is located 6 units east of the flagpole. Clue 2 says that Clue 3 is located 5 units south of the flagpole. N -4 -2 o N 4 6 X -2 -4 Plot the locations of the flagpole and the 3 clues on the coordinate grid and show the path students will follow with straight lines. Each unit represents 50 feet. What is the shortest combined distance along the path from the flagpole to Clue 1 to Clue 2 to Clue 3? Round to the nearest foot if necessary. ​

Answer:

The figure is attached and the total distance is 1031 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph is indicated in the attached figure.

For calculation of distance consider following

Point Flagpole is (0,0)

Point Clue1 is (0,5)

Point Clue2 is (6,0)

Point Clue3 is (0,-5)

So the distance is calculated as follows

d_{T}=[d_{FP\ to\ Clue1}+d_{Clue1\ to\ Clue2}+d_{Clue2\ to\ Clue3}]*distance\ per\ unit\\d_{T}=[\sqrt{(Clue1_x-FP_x)^2+(Clue1_y-FP_y)^2}+\sqrt{(Clue2_x-Clue1_x)^2+(Clue2_y-Clue1_y)^2}+\sqrt{(Clue3_x-Clue2_x)^2+(Clue3_y-Clue2_y)^2}]**distance\ per\ unit\\Substituting the values

d_{T}=[\sqrt{(0-0)^2+(5-0)^2}+\sqrt{(6-0)^2+(0-5)^2}+\sqrt{(0-6)^2+(-5-0)^2}]*50 \text{ feet}\\d_{T}=[\sqrt{(0)^2+(5)^2}+\sqrt{(6)^2+(-5)^2}+\sqrt{(-6)^2+(-5)^2}]*50 \text{ feet}\\d_{T}=[\sqrt{0+25}+\sqrt{36+25}+\sqrt{36+25}]*50 \text{ feet}\\d_{T}=[\sqrt{25}+\sqrt{61}+\sqrt{61}]*50 \text{ feet}\\d_{T}=[5+7.81+7.81]*50 \text{ feet}\\d_{T}=[20.62]*50 \text{ feet}\\d_{T}=1031 \text{ feet}\\

So the total distance travelled is 1031 feet.

A Write an equivalent equation that does NOT contain decimals.
vampirchik [111]

                                                     <span>0.5x - 0.1 = -2.9

When you multiply each side of an equation by the same number,
you don't change the equation or its solution.  If you want to get rid
of the decimals, you could  multiply each side by  10.  Then the
equation is

                                                     5x - 1  =  -29

You should be able to solve that without help.
But I'm about to take your points, so here's
how to solve that equation:

                                            </span><span><span>5x - 1  =  -29

Add  1  to each side:        5x        =  -28

Divide each side by  5 :     x         =  -28 / 5

Simplify the solution:          x         =  -5 and 4/5 .

Again ... this is the same solution as the original equation
if we hadn't gotten rid of the decimals.

What's the distance between the points (–9,2) and (–4,2)?
algol [13]

If you are asking for the slope it is a zero slope because...

2-2 equals 0 and you don't need to solve the bottom because the top is a zero

but a horizontal slope is when the zero is on the bottom.

btw- I guarantee I am right because i am a Indian. My wisdom comes from God. Jesus Christ!!!!:):):)

Angelica reads 15 pages of a book each day. In 10 days, she reads 200 pages. Assume the relationship is linear. Find and interpr
Phantasy [73]

Given:

Angelica reads 15 pages of a book each day.

In 10 days, she reads 200 pages.

Assume the relationship is linear.

To find:

The rate of change and initial value.

Solution:

The slope intercept form of a linear function is:

y=mx+b            ...(i)

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Angelica reads 15 pages of a book each day. So, the rate of change is 15 pages per day and m=15.

In 10 days, she reads 200 pages. It means the linear relation passes through the point (10,200).

Putting x=10,y=200,m=15 in (i), we get

200=15(10)+b

200=150+b

200-150=b

50=b

So, the y-intercept is 50. It means the initial number of pages angelica already read is 50.

Therefore, the rate of change is 15, it means Angelica reads 15 pages per day. The y-intercept is 50, it means the initial number of pages angelica already read is 50.
