10x-2y=10 We need to solve this equation for "y" to put it into slope intercept form:
10x-2y=10
-2y = -10x +10 Subtracted 10x from both sides
y = 5x - 5 Divided both sides by -2
y = 5x - 5 Is slope intercept form
You have to find the difference in height between both checkpoints. To do this just calculate 196 - 52. Checkpoint 5 is 144 (meters?) higher than Checkpoint 2.
You are everything, you are loved :)
I can't show the work, but if the problem is printed or on the computer, I recommend using Photomath in the AppStore :)
