OpenStudy (anonymous):

??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you so much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 1 for slope i don't understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what points do I use?

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

look at the y-axis, and then the x-axis. from 1981-1985, 4 years pass. In that same amount of time, the average cost goes from 4500 - 2500. 2000/4 is the ratio of rise/run. Now, do the same for 1985-1989

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2,500-2,000

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

yes, so 500/4 simplify 2000/4 and 500/4 to get your answer. the graph is going down and to the left so your answers will be negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

500/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 500 and 125

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

yes, good job

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so B.-500 and -125

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

yes

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

any time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it okay if you check some answers for me I just wana know if there right?

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

youre correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12,)c. 13.) D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am going practice problems for a exam and wanted to know if I am doing them right

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

for 13, A is the correct answer because it has a slope 4, not -4. parallel lines always have the same slope.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is 12 correct?

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

hold on

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

I get B for #12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats strange i even put it in wolfam alpha

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

after putting it in point-slope form, I get y = 3/14x + 33/7 y - 3/14x = 33/7 correct so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yesssss

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

then multiply by 14 or -14?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not sure how to get it to general form

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

what did you put into wolfram?

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

nvm, Im still pretty sure B is right, because if you multiply both sides by -14 you get 3x - 14y = -66

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

the graph of 3x - 14y = -66 is the same as y - 3/14x = 33/7

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

yes, you get 3x - 14y + 66 = 0 but if you subtract 66 from both sides you get 3x - 14y = -66, which is B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am so stupid

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

lol, no, it's okay. this stuff is hard. and dont worry im stupider :p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 more please

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

kk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a ski lift runs to the top of a hill has a rise to run ratio of 5/7

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

purple. purple is the answer :p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the horizontal distance from the button of the lift to the center of the mountain is 6,000 ft

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how high is the hill

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 4,285

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

5/7 = x / 6000 where x is the height of the mountain 30000 = 7x 30,000 / 7 = 4285.7 so if you are rounding up it would be 4286

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

any questions?
