Schach [20]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

From given, we have,

Paul says he is 16 inches shorter than 1 1/2 times Theresa's height.  

Steve says he's 6 inches shorter than 1 1/3 times Theresa's height.

Let the height of Theresa be "x" inches.

So, we get,

For Paul, 1 1/2 x - 16 = T

⇒ 3/2 x - 16 = T ......(1)

For Steve, 1 1/3 x - 6 = T

⇒ 4/3 x - 6 = T .........(2)

equating  equations (1) and (2), we get,

3/2 x - 16 =  4/3 x - 6

6 - 16 = 4/3 x - 3/2 x

-10 = (8 - 9)/6 x

-60 = -x

x = 60 inches.

Therefore, Theresa is 60 inches tall.

What is the slope of the line graphed below?
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

slope (m) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

(1, 1) --> 1 = x1, 1 = y1

(2, -2) --> 2 = x2, -2 = y2

(-2 - 1) / (2 - 1) = -3 / 1 = -3

therefore, the slope is -3
