Problem 1:
A home’s back yard drops 9 feet over a horizontal distance of 124 feet. Find the slope of this back yard. Round your answer to two decimal places.
My answer:
-9/124
-0.07
Problem 2:
Write the equation for this situation: The cost, c, in dollars of a car rental is equal to 9 dollars plus 1/4 the miles driven, m.
My answer:
c = (1/4)m + 9
m = 10
c = 10/4 + 9
11.5 dollars
