When cai traveled from new orleans to the ozark mountains in arkansas the elevation changed from 7ft below sea level to 2,314 ft above sea level. how much did the elevation increase?

2321 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

When Cai traveled from New Orleans to the Ozark Mountains in Arkansas the elevation changes from 7 ft below sea level to 2314 ft above sea level.

If we consider the elevation below sea level as negative and the elevation above sea level as positive, then the elevation changes from - 7ft to +2314 ft.

Therefore, the increment of elevation is by [2314 - (- 7)] = 2321 ft. (Answer)

okay wait before i answer, is this for your points on a graph?

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
