Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
the position of the boat on the waters surface = 0 (zero)
Carmen and Jen's swimming depth. = -15
There is no graph, so it is impossible to answer this question. I apologise.
To solve for the slope given two lines, use the formula:
(y₂ - y₁)
----------
(x₂ - x₁)
Set one of the points as (x₁, y₁), and the other as (x₂, y₂).
(x₁, y₁) = <span>(0,32)
</span>(x₂, y₂) <span>= (100,212)
plug into corresponding places:
</span>(y₂ - y₁) (212 - 32) (180)
---------- = -------------- = -------
(x₂ - x₁) (100 - 0) (100)
180/100 is your slope
If you want simplified, it will be: 9/5
hope this helps
