Answer:
y=-2/19x
Step-by-step explanation:
slope=(y1-y2)/(x1-x2)=-2/19
y-intercept=0
y=-2/19x+0
To find the value of x, you need to set up a proportion.This is the proportion you would set up:
2.5 x
---- = ------
3.75 60
x=40
The Pythagorean theorem is with right triangles. You know that a right triangle is formed from first to the mound to home-plate. So when you draw it out and label the sides you have one missing side. the Pythagorean theorem is a^2 + b^2 = C^2. the c side is always the slanted side. In this case the c side would be from homeplate to first base. So you just have to solve now. (33)^2 + (50)^2 = c^2. So 1089 + 2500 = c^2. Add together and you get: 3589 = c^2. Lastly take the square-root of 3589 and that is the answer. 59.9. So the answer is 59.9 feet.
Subtract the second equation from double the first equation:
2x+6y-2x-(-4y)=0
10y=0
Therefore, y=0. Substituting this into the first equation, we see that:
x+3(0)=3
x=3
Therefore, x=3. The solution to this system is x=3, y=0, or (3, 0).
