A parachutist's rate during a free fall reaches 132 feet per second. What is this rate in meters per second? At this rate, how many meters will the parachutist fall during 15 seconds of free fall? In your computations, assume that 1 meter is equal to 3.3 feet. Do not round your answers.

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

132 feet / 3.3 feet per meter = 40 meters per second

15 seconds: 40 * 15 = 600 meters

answer: what in the world is this

step-by-step explanation:

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form
