Answer:
C) 7

Work Shown:
Use the slope formula
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Plug in the given slope we want m = -5/3 and also the coordinates of the points. Then isolate r
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
-5/3 = (2-r)/(r-4)
-5(r-4) = 3(2-r) .... cross multiplying
-5r+20 = 6-3r
-5r+20+5r = 6-3r+5r .... adding 5 to both sides
20 = 6+2r
20-6 = 6+2r-6 ....subtracting 6 from both sides
14 = 2r
2r = 14
2r/2 = 14/2 .... dividing both sides by 2
r = 7
The slope of the line through (4,7) and (7,2) should be -5/3, let's check that
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (2-7)/(7-4)
m = -5/3
The answer is confirmed
Answer:
You can do 26/100 or 13/50
Given:
The function f(x) describes the amount of money, in dollars, the club will earn for wrapping x presents.
To find:
The f(658).
Solution:
We have,
Substitute x=658 to find the value of f(658).
It means, the club will earn $1974 for wrapping 658 presents.
Therefore, .
Let L represent the ladder length, and x the distance the horiz. ladder reaches out from the wall. Then L = x + 3, where x is the distance of the bottom of the ladder from the wall when the top of the ladder is 9 ft. above the ground.
Consider the triangle formed by the hypotenuse (L, same as ladder length), the (vertical) side opposite the angle formed by the hypo. (with length 9 ft) and the horiz side (which we will call x). Then, according to the Pythagorean Theorem,
L^2 = x^2 + 9^2. But L = x + 3, and L^2 = x^2 + 6x + 9 = x^2 + 9^2. Solving this equation results in x=3. 6x + 9 = 9^2, or
6x + 9 = 81
6x = 72
x = 12
But L = x+3. So L=12+3, or L = 15 (feet).
