distance = 500 feet
Since Δ VWX and Δ YZX are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
=
=
completing the required values gives
=
( cross- multiply )
60l = 30 × 100 = 3000 ( divide both sides by 60 )
l = 500
distance across the swamp is 500 feet
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the number of tickets
y ----> the price of tickets
we have the ordered pairs
(4,63) and (6,92)
step 1
<em>Find the slope of the linear equation</em>
The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to
substitute the values
step 2
Find the y-intercept or initial value of the linear equation
we know that
The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to
where
m is the slope b is the y-intercept
we have
substitute
solve for b
In this context the y-intercept is a one charge fee for the ticket service
The equation is equal to
