Graph the line with -intercept -5 and slope 1/3 .

(assuming the y-intercept is -5) Check the graph below the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The y-intercept of -5 means that the line intersects with the y-axis at (0,-5).

2. The slope 1/3 means that for every point, you rise up by 1 and run 3.

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2

step-by-step explanation:

there are 36 inches in a yard

25 : 36 = 0.69 yards (you can round to 0.70)
