Answer: - 5



Explanation:



1) Some information in the question is missing: the height of the roller coaster at the bottom of the drop.



2) Here is the complete question: "Across a horizontal distance of 25 feet, a roller coaster has a steep drop. The height of the roller coaster at the bottom of the drop is -125 feet, compared to its height at the top of the drop. What is the average amount that the roller coaster's height changes over each horizontal foot"



3) Now, you can calculate the average amount that the roller coaster's height changes over each horizontal foot, using this formula:



Average change = [change in height] / [change in horizontal]



4) Change in height = [final height - initial height] = - 125 feet



5) Change in horizontal distance = 25 feet



6) Answer: - 125 feet / 25 feet = - 5.



The negative sign means that the height decreased.

nadezda [96]

Answer:

the probability that it is not a drama movie is 15/23

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the probability we have to make the number of favorable events divided the number of possible events

number of possible events = x

to calculate it we add all the movies

x = 10 + 5 + 8

x = 23

number of favorable events = y

to calculate it we subtract the drama movies from the total of movies

y = x - 8

y = 23 - 8

y = 15

now we divide 15 by 23 and we get the probability

15/23
