Answer: The pole is 17 feet long

Step-by-step explanation: If Matthew's shadow is 2 feet smaller than his actually size, the shadow of the pole will also be reduced. Since the pole's shadow is 15 feet long, adding 2 will give you its original size, 17 feet.

Slope intercept of (2,-12) and (5,6)
nlexa [21]

Answer:

<em>The slope of the line is m=6.  </em>

<em>The y-intercept is (0,−24).  </em>

<em>The equation of the line in the slope-intercept form is y=6x−24.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line passing through the two points P=(x1,y1) and Q=(x2,y2) is given by m=y2−y1x2−x1.

We have that x1=2, y1=−12, x2=5, y2=6.

Plug the given values into the formula for the slope: m=(6)−(−12)(5)−(2)=183=6.

Now, the y-intercept is b=y1−m⋅x1 (or b=y2−m⋅x2, the result is the same).

b=−12−(6)⋅(2)=−24.

Finally, the equation of the line can be written in the form y=mx+b.

y=6x−24.

Answer:

The slope of the line is m=6.

The y-intercept is (0,−24).

The equation of the line in the slope-intercept form is y=6x−24.

You start at (7, 2). You move up 5 units. Where do you end?
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

(7,7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Because going up would be moving along the y-axis, then you would add 5 to the Y value which was 2 so therefore, if you move up 5 you'll be at (7,7).:)
