Answer:

<em>The length of the actual ship is 125 meters.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Scaling</u>

Objects can be represented in a reduced or augmented size by using scaling which is basically multiplying or dividing by a constant factor. We use scaling for example, when representing geographic locations on a map.

A model ship is built to a scale of 1 cm: 5 m. This means that each centimeter of the model represents an actual length of 5 m.

The length of the model is 25 cm, thus the real ship has a length of 25*5 = 125 m.

The length of the actual ship is 125 meters.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (4,3) and has an undefined slope?

wariber [46]

x = 4

A line with an undefined slope is a vertical line parallel to the y-axis and passing through all points with the same x-coordinate. For this reason it's equation is x = c where c is the value of the x-coordinate it passes through.

line passes through (4, 3 )

Hence equation is x = 4
