A piece of climbing equipment at a playground is 6 feet high and extends 4 feet horizontally. A piece of climbing equipment at a
gym is 10 feet high and extends 6 feet horizontally. Which statement best compares the slopes of the two pieces of equipment? A. Because 5/3 > 3/2, the slope of the climbing equipment at the gym is greater.
B. Because 5/3 2/3, the slope of the climbing equipment at the gym is greater.
D. Because 3/5 < 2/3, the slope of the climbing equipment at the playground is greater.
This equation can be set up letting x be the hourly rate:40x+1.5x(52-40)=638 [40 times the rate, plus 1.5 times the rate for the hours over 40 equals the pay]40x+78x-60x=63858x=638x=11 hourly rate is $11/hr
