An engineer designed a new bridge and drew the scale drawing shown below. 6 Inches If the engineer used the scale 3 inch = 40 feet, how long is the actual bridge the engineer designed?

The bridge is 80 feet long

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the ratio method to solve the question

∵ The engineer used the scale 3 inch = 40 feet

∴ The scale drawing is ⇒ 3 inche :  40 feet

∵ The drawing length of the bridge is 6 inches

→ By using the ratio method

→  inch :  feet

→  3      :  40

→  6      :  x

→ By using cross multiplication

∵ 3 × x = 6 × 40

∴ 3x = 240

→ Divide both sides by 3

∴ x = 80

∵ x represents the actual length of the bridge

∴ The bridge is 80 feet long

answer: 15

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
