Answer:

17 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = 1/2(base)(height)

the base is seven less than twice the height, so

b = 2h-7

try to substitute for one of the variables, because it is much easier to solve for them.

b = 2h-7

b+7 = 2h

(b+7)/2 = h

Area = 102

102 = 1/2(b)(b+7)/2

408 = (b)(b+7)

408 = b^2+7b

b^2+7b-408=0

(b+24)(b-17)=0

b = -24 or b = 17

since length can't be a negative number, the length of the base is 17 cm

Use the functions to find x

suter [353]

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x) = 10 - \frac{9}{2} x \\ \\ plug \: f(x) = - 53 \\ \\ - 53 = 10 - \frac{9}{2} x \\ \\ \frac{9}{2} x = 10 + 53 \\ \\ \frac{9}{2} x = 63 \\ \\ x = 63 \times \frac{2}{9} \\ \\ x = 7 \times 2 \\ \\ x = 14$

Hi there! The answer is B. it would be less steep.

The change of the function (in this case) influences the slope of the line. Since we've modified the slope from 5 to 3/4, the line will be less steep.
