Use pythagorians theorem a^2 + b^2 = c^2. 4^+20^ = 20.40 feet. The ladder is 20.40 feet long.
1. 14:8, 21:12 28:16
2. 10/12 15/18 20/24
5. 5:4
6. No
7. No
8. Yes
9. No
10. 15
Plug in each possible value into the equation.
when m = 5
2k = m + 3
2k = (5) + 3
Simplify
2k = 8
isolate the k, divide 2 from both sides
2k/2 = 8/2
k = 8/2
k = 4
When m = 5, k = 4
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2k = m + 3
when m = 7
2k = (7) + 3
2k = 10
2k/2 = 10/2
k = 10/2
k = 5
when m = 7, k = 5
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2k = m + 3
When m = 9
2k = (9) + 3
2k = 12
2k/2 = 12/2
k = 12/2
k = 6
when m = 9, k = 6

hope this helps
Slope= y2-y1/ x2-x1
= -1-2/-1+3
= -3/2 is the answer
