After reaching the top of a cliff, a rock climber descended the rock face using a 65 ft rope. the distance to the base of the cliff was 585 ft. how many rope lengths did it take the climber to complete her descent

11

step-by-step explanation:

32.50-7.50=25

225/25=11

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
