The slant height is 5.19615 in
Simplify 1/4x to x/4
-x/4 - 14y - 1/8x + 2y + 18
Simplify 1/8x to x/8
-x/4 - 14y - x/8 + 2y + 18
Collect like terms
(-x/4 - x/8) + (-14y + 2y) + 18
Simplify
-3/8x - 12y + 18
Answer:
Suzi's elevation in the hike is 37 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
Position of Suzi in the starting of hike = 200 feet below sea level
= -200 feet
The negative sign shows below sea level.
Position of Suzi in the end of hike = -163 feet
Change in elevation from the beginning of Suzi's hike to the end of the hike
= Position of Suzi in the end of hike - Position of Suzi in the starting of hike

Thus, Suzi's elevation in the hike is 37 feet.
Hopefully you have a Ti-84 calculator because that's what I'm going to use.
First, input the equation on the "y =" button and graph the equation.
Then, hit "2nd, trace", or "calc". Choose the 6th option, "dy/dx". This gives you the derivative, or slope of the secant line, at any given x value.
If you just start typing numbers and hit enter, it'll find the derivative, so for part a letters i-viii, just input those numbers and press enter.
From the looks of it, the slope approaches 4 (as you from the x-values in i-iv and v-viii, the slopes approach 4). You can also check this by just inputting the x-value 7 in dy/dx or taking the derivative of the equation and plugging in 7. Hope this helps!! If you liked this answer please rate it as brainliest!!!
