The sum of the heights of a giraffe and a baby giraffe is 15m. if the baby giraffe has a height which is 2/3 that of the giraffe, what is the height of the baby giraffe?

mama giraffe: x

baby giraffe:

= 15

= (3)15

3x + 2x = 45

5x = 45

x = 9

baby giraffe: = = 2(3) = 6

6 m

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?

first one because it can't have a fraction in it
