Isaiah walks 3 miles due north, turns and then 5 miles due east. How far is he from his starting point?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The two segments of his walk can be considered the two legs
of a right triangle.

His distance from his starting point is the hypotenuse of the triangle,
so to find its length, we can call on Old Man Pythagoras to help us.

         Distance²  =  (3)² + (5)²

         Distance  =  √(9 + 25)  =  √34

                                            =  5.831 miles  (rounded) .

Are slopes just for people who ski? No, they’re everywhere! Take a look around you. They’re in skateboard ramps, roller coasters, accessibility ramps on buildings, loading ramps on the backs of trucks, and even in the angle of a plane taking off or landing. A.    Find an example of a slope in real life. Your example can be from the Internet, videos, magazines, newspapers, or right outside your window. Take a picture or a screenshot, or create a drawing, of your example. Put this in a PowerPoint slide. Next to your image, create a graph of the slope. You do not have to be exact. Just estimate what you think the slope should be. Create a post with your slide. Explain your graph and describe the real-life example that it is based on. Example:              This is my new skateboard ramp. It is approximately 11 ft long by 8 ft tall. B.    Go to another student’s post and write the equation for that student's line in point-slope form, standard form, or slope-intercept form. Explain your reason for choosing that form. C.    Respond to replies to your own post. Covert the equation that was written about your graph to another form.

The answer here is A which is the first graph.
Remember that if a is negative in the equation y = ax^2 + bx + c, the parabola always opens downward. For vertex, its coordinates is always located on the first quadrant in which all values are positive.
