Answer:b 27 feet
Step-by-step explanation:You need a ladder that will reach up a 25 foot tall house when placed 10 feet away from the house.
F(x) is the same as y.......so basically ur subbing in ur points into the equation to see if it comes out equal.
f(x) = 3 - 2x.....(-2,-1)....x = -2 and f(x) = -1
-1 = 3 - 2(-1)
-1 = 3 + 2
-1 = 5.....this is not true, so it is not a solution
and that is how to do this problem.....
(-1,5)......this IS a solution
(0,3)......this IS a solution
(1,0)...this IS NOT a solution
(2,-1)...this IS a solution
Answer:
The answers are in the image.
