Answer: 70
Step-by-step explanation:
Antoine's elevation when he is halfway to the top is 70. You cut the diameter (120) in half which gets you 60 and you add the height of the stand holding the wheel (10) which gets you 70.
The solid line indicates that the line itself is included in the solutions. That the shaded area is to the left, or under, the line means that y≤the line.
To find the equation of the line you first find the slope or m using any two points.
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) in this case you are given (2,-5) and (-2, 3) so
m=(3--5)/(-2-2)
m=8/-4
m=-2
So far for y≤mx+b we have:
y=-2x+b using either point we can solve for b, I'll use (2,-5)
-5=-2(2)+b
-5=-4+b
-1=b
So the line is:
y=-2x-1 and since y≤ the line:
y≤-2x-1
