Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of the trail is expressed as;

Slope = vertical distance/horizontal distance

Given

Vertical distance = 60metres

Horizontal distance= 300metres

Substitute

Slope = 60/300

Slope = 6×10/30×10

Slope = 6/30

Slope = 6×1/6×5

Slope = 1/5

Hence the slope of the trail in reduced fraction is 1/5

Explanation:

Steve correctly computed the change in x to be 2, and the change in y to be 6. However he put 2 in the slope formula for Δy (the change in y), and 6 for Δx. That is, Steve reversed the values of Δx and Δy.

The actual slope is ...

  slope = Δy/Δx = 6/2 = 3

A triangle has an area of 48 square units. Its height is 8 units.
Sloan [31]
Area of triangle= 1/2(bh)
So u do the reverse to find the base
48 x 2 which equals 96
Then u divide
96 divided by 8 = 12

Use elimination to solve each system below.
aliina [53]

Answer:

System 1 : {3,0};  System 2 : {6,-2}

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y = 6

-2x - y = -6

2y = 0

y = 0

-2x = -6

x = 3

system 2

2x + 3y = 6

2x + 2y = 8

y = -2

2x -4 = 8

2x = 12

x = 6

Why is it important to reduce radicals
OleMash [197]
Simplifying radical expressions expression is important before addition or subtraction because it you need to which like terms can be added or subtracted. If we hadn't simplified the radical expressions, we would not have come to this solution. In a way, this is similar to what would be done for polynomial expression.
