Chapter 1: Q. 1 (page 40)

The slope of a vertical line is ________ ; the slope of a horizontal line is _______.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The slope of a vertical line is infinity; the slope of a horizontal line is zero.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information.

The slope of a vertical line is ________ ; the slope of a horizontal line is _______.

02

Step 2. Find the slope of the vertical line.

The slope of the line is given by m=tan胃, where 胃is the angle made by the given line with x-axis.

Now, a vertical line makes 90掳angle with the x-axis. Therefore, we get:

m=tan90m=鈭�

03

Step 3. Find slope of the horizontal line.

A horizontal line is a line parallel to the x-axis.

Therefore, we get:

m=tan胃m=tan0m=0

Hence, the slope of a vertical line is infinity; the slope of a horizontal line is zero.

A wooden access ramp is being built to reach a platform that sits 30 inches above the floor. The ramp drops 2 inches for every 25-inch run.

(a) Write a linear equation that relates the height y of the ramp above the floor to the horizontal distance x from the platform.

(b) Find and interpret the x-intercept of the graph of your equation.

(c) Design requirements stipulate that the maximum run be 30 feet and that the maximum slope be a drop of 1 inch for each 12 inches of run. Will this ramp meet the requirements? Explain.

(d) What slopes could be used to obtain the 30-inch rise and still meet design requirements?

Little League Baseball Refer to Problem 106. Overlay a rectangular coordinate system on a Little League baseball diamond so that the origin is at home plate, the positive

x-axis lies in the direction from home plate to first base, and the positive y-axis lies in the direction from home plate to third base.

(a) What are the coordinates of first base, second base, and third base? Use feet as the unit of measurement.

(b) If the right fielder is located at (180, 20), how far is it from there to second base?

(c) If the center fielder is located at (220, 220), how far is it from there to third base?
