Amountain climber is at an elevation of 10,354 feet. after 4 hours, he is at an elevation of 8,090 feet. find the climber’s vertical speed using this formula:

Vertical distance of the climber is 566 feet per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mountain climber is at an elevation = 10354 feet.

After 4 hours, elevation of the climber = 8090 feet

Distance covered in 4 hours = 10354 - 8090

                                               = 2264 feet

Since speed is represented by the formula

Speed =

           =

           = 566 feet per hour

Therefore, vertical distance of the climber is 566 feet per hour.

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17
