Just use the formula y=mx+b and you should get your answer
Answer:
Ordered pairs are ( -3, 0) (0, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Now when your graphing, go up 3 spots in the y-axis ( up & down) and plot your point now do the same for your x-axis (( left and right), so go over to the left 3 places, and there now connect the 2 points and your done. Hope that helps!
Think of the 13-ft length of the ladder as the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Represent the horiz. distance from foot of ladder to base of tree by x, or 5 ft.
Represent the vert. dist. from base of tree to top of ladder by y, which is unknown.
Then (13 ft)^2 = (5 ft)^2 + y^2, or
169 ft^2 = 25 ft^2 + y^2. This simplifies to y^2 = 144. Thus y = + 12 feeet.
Note: Please pay attention to your spelling: "lader i up agenst a tree" should be "the top of a 13-ft ladder is placed against a tree."
Closest would be 8 43/200
