Start with an equation.
Nine less... so -9
3 times a number = 3x
Greater than 40 is >40
So put together is 3x-9>40
When solving I imaging the greater than sign as an equal sign. Less confusing.
3x-9=40
3x=49
x>49/3
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The picture of the question in the attached figure
we know that
----> by SOH (opposite side divided by the hypotenuse)
we have

solve for BC

substitute the values


Slope= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)= (-3-(-1))/(0-4)= -2/-4 =2/4 =1/2
Answer: slope =1/2.
