A big cruise ship dropped anchor off the Caribbean island of Antigua. The heavy anchor dropped into the water at a rate of 2.52.52, point, 5 meters per second. After 454545 seconds, the anchor was 404040 meters below the water's surface. From what height (above the water's surface) was the anchor released?

meters

How long did it take the anchor to reach the water's surface?

seconds

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?

126 maybe. sorry

so the rectangle is 80cm (area)

now to find the area of a triangle.

base times height.

4 times 8.

your answer is 96cm.

hope this .

$205,000 here you go i had to guess it but i got it correct so yeah
