-12 x (1/3)? what is this equal to!
2 answers:
Answer:
-4
Step-by-step explanation:
-12 times 1/3.
It's pretty much just -12x1, then divided by 3.
-12x1 is equal to -12.
Your equation is now simplified, making it easier to solve.
Your equation is:
-12 divided by 3 is -4, because when a negative number is divided (or multiplied) by a positive number, the quotient (or product) is negative.
-12 x (1/3) = -12/3 = -4.

Answer:
3 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
A 12-foot ladder is leaning across a fence and is touching a higher wall located 3 feet behind the fence. The ladder makes an angle of 60 degrees with the ground.
ladder is 12 foot
The ladder makes an angle of 60 degrees with the ground.
It form a right angle triangle . ladder is the hypotenuse
multiply 12 on both sides
x= 6
the distance from the base of the ladder to the bottom of the fence
x-3 = 6-3=3 feet

We are asked to find the equation of the line, using the given information:
, which is the slope
which is a point that the line contains
- The slope is the number before x, in the form
.
Since "m" is the slope, and we're given what the slope is, we can substitute -3 for m:
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Now, we need to find the y intercept, "b", of the line.
Here's how it's done:
Remember the point that the line contains, (1,2)?
Well, its y-coordinate is 2; so what we do is substitute 2 for y:
Also, its x-coordinate is 1, so we substitute 1 for x:
Now, solve for b:
Add 3 to both sides:
Thus, we have
Thus, the equation of the line is:
