2. a skydiver jumps from a plane from an altitude of 7920 feet. the wind carries her to a spot 5280 feet away from the point she left the plane. what is the slope of her path of descent?

The slope of her path of descent is -1.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Vertical distance of the skydiver is,

Negative sign indicates that there is decrease in the vertical distance of the skydiver.

Horizontal distance of the skydiver is,

Now, slope of her path of descent is defined as the ratio of fall to run.

Therefore, the slope of her path of descent is -1.5. The slope is negative as there is descent of the skydiver.

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≥ x ≥ 40;

step-by-step explanation:

walter has to make a minimum of 20 cookies. he already has 15 cookies made, so he must make 5 more to meet the minimum.

the maximum amount of cookies he can make is 55. he already has 15, so he has to make no more than 40 more cookies to meet the maximum.
