How far was Zane from the edge of the volcano when he started climbing?

Hope this helps

accoding to the web "He started out 25 meters below the edge of the volcano. It takes him 6.25 seconds to reach the edge."

25 meters below the edge; 6.25 seconds  

Step-by-step explanation:

We can represent this with a linear function in slope-intercept form.  

We know the rate of change is 4 since he climbs up at 4 meters per second.  We do not know the value of b, the y-intercept.  

This gives us  

y = 4x + b  

We know that he is 13 meters below the edge after 3 seconds.  Using -13 for y and 3 for x,  

-13 = 4(3) + b  

-13 = 12 + b  

Subtract 12 from each side:  

-13-12 = 12+b-12  

-25 = b  

This gives us the equation  

y = 4x - 25  

He started out 25 meters below the edge of the volcano.  

To find how long it took him to reach the edge, substitute 0 in for y:  

0 = 4x - 25  

Add 25 to each side:  

0+25 = 4x-25+25  

25 = 4x  

Divide both sides by 4:  

25/4 = 4x/4  

6.25 = x  

It takes him 6.25 seconds to reach the edge.

the central idea is that:

individuals should refuse to cooperate with institutions they believe unjust.

thoreau felt  that governments were more often agents of corruption than justice, even democracies, and that just because the majority feels a certain way does not make it just or correct in absolute terms. he uses the fact that slavery exists in our democracy to support this idea.

he goes on to say that, as a result, people should live true to their own internal laws regarding right and wrong, as a product of reflection and a moral life, rather than following every law that society imposes.
