1900/ 2= 950

<span>4750/5= 950
Why do you do this? Because you are trying to find the amount of ft per minute.</span>

1,900 ft/ 2 minutes= 950 ft/minute.

4,750 ft/ 5 minutes= 950 ft/minute.

If the distance varies directly with the time, the skydiver is descending at a rate of 950 feet per minute~

Graph the solution to the following linear inequality in the coordinate plane. 5 x - y &gt; -3
Svetlanka [38]

Given:

The inequality is:

5x-y>-3

To find:

The graph for the given linear inequality in the coordinate plane.

Solution:

We have,

5x-y>-3

The related equation for this inequality is:

5x-y=-3

The table of values is:

x         y

0        3

-1        -2

Plot the points (0,3) and (-1,-2) on a coordinate plane and connect them by a dotted straight line because the sign of inequality is >.

Check the given inequality for (0,0).

5(0)-(0)>-3

0>-3

This statement is true. So, the shaded area of the given inequality is towards the origin.

Therefore, the required graph is shown below.

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Determining the length of BC</u>

From the diagram, it is clear that

  • The point B is located at (-8, 10) and point C is located at (8, 10)

Since points A and C are located on a horizontal straight line. Thus, the length of BC can be determined by counting the x-axis units from reaching x = -8 to x = 8. i.e. 8-(-8) = 8+8 = 16

Thus, the length of BC = 16 units

<u>Determining the length of CD</u>

Given

  • C (8, 10)
  • D (2, -2)

The distance between C(8, 10) and D(2, -2)

\mathrm{Compute\:the\:distance\:between\:}\left(x_1,\:y_1\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right):\quad \sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}

CD=\sqrt{\left(2-8\right)^2+\left(-2-10\right)^2}

      =\sqrt{6^2+12^2}

      =\sqrt{36+144}

      =\sqrt{180}

      =\sqrt{36\times 5}

      =6\sqrt{5}

Thus, the length of CD =6\sqrt{5} units

<u>Determining the length of ED</u>

Given

  • E (-8, -4)
  • D (2, -2)

The distance between E(-8, -4) and D(2, -2)

ED=\sqrt{\left(2-\left(-8\right)\right)^2+\left(-2-\left(-4\right)\right)^2}

      =\sqrt{10^2+2^2}

      =\sqrt{100+4}

      =\sqrt{104}

       =\sqrt{26\times \:4}

        =2\sqrt{26}

Thus, the length of ED =2\sqrt{26} units

<u>Determining the length of EB</u>

From the diagram, it is clear that

  • The point E is located at (-8, -4) and the point B is located at (-8, 10)

Since points E and B are located on a vertical straight line. Thus, the length of EB can be determined by counting the y-axis units from reaching y = -4 to y = 10. i.e. 10-(-4) = 10+4 = 14

Thus, the length of EB = 14 units
