A local zoo has two large snakes. The anaconda is currently 5.23 meters long and grows 1.27 meters every month. The python is 4.76 meters long and grows 2.04 meters per month.
How many months ( ) m does the zookeeper need to wait for the two snakes to be the
same length?

i really need to know this. my nine weeks ends tomorrow and im behind in math. pl answer this plz, i beg of you

for the anaconda  5.23 + 1.27 m  where m is the number of months,  and the total length is in meters

The anaconda starts at 5.23 meters and grows 1.27 meters each month for m months

for the python 4.76 + 2.04m   where m is the number of months, l is the length of the python in meters

The python starts at 4.76 meters and grows 2.04 meters each month for m months

5.23 + 1.27 m  = 4.76 + 2.04m   m is the number of months  Each side is

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)
