Answer: 
Remember: RISE/RUN (y/x). Lines that are increasing have a positive slope, and lines that are decreasing have a negative slope.
You can find the slope in two ways:
1. Useful if the line is graphed: count the units between 2 points on the line.
- Let's use the points (-1, 4) and (4, -4).
- (-1, 4) is 8 units higher than (4, -4) and 5 units to the left of (4, -4).
- Because the line is decreasing, the slope is negative.
- Therefore, the slope is .
2. Useful if the line is not graphed: find the difference between the y-coordinate values divided by the difference of the x-coordinate values.
- Let's use the points (-1, 4) and (4, -4).
- Therefore, the slope is .
Answer:
approx. 24.6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
x=the distance of the fire from the base of the tower
200ft=the height of the tower
7 degrees=the angle of depression
Using these values you can draw a diagram that highlights that you need to use trig. to work out the answer.
Using Tan:
Tan 7=x/200 ft
multiply both sides by 200 ft
200*tan 7=24.55691218
approx. 24.6 ft
I don't know the answer I'm just answering some thing so that Brinley will let me ask a question. Hope this helps LOL

Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
The altitude of the triangle is 12/21 = 4/7 of the marked side. If we assume that the marked sides are the ones that are corresponding, then ...
x = (4/7)(28)
x = 16
<em>b</em><em> </em>for <em>books</em><em> </em>read. b=1x + 1. the amount of months he's been in the club goes for x and +1 because he already read a book before he joined. if you do easy math, he's been there for 8 months because he read 9 books. i probably got the equation backwards but this works both ways imo.
