Firefighters are running drills all week. one drill has them climbing ladders up to 3rd story windows. if the closest they can get the base of their ladder to the practice house is 9 feet and the ladder needs to reach up 38 feet, how long must the ladder be?

! i'm not too sure what i have to do

a reflection across the x-axis , followed by the by a reflection across the y-axis , and then a scale dilation of 0.5 .

the system of inequalities is

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the equation of the dashed line

we have the points

(0,0) and (3,1)

the line passes through the origin, so, is a direct variation

find the slope

the equation of the dashed line is

the solution of the inequality a s the shaded area above the dashed line

therefore

the equation of the inequality a is

step 2

find the equation of the solid line

we have the points

(4,0) and (0,4)

find the slope

the equation of the solid line is

the solution of the inequality b s the shaded area below the solid line

therefore

the equation of the inequality b is

step 3

the system of inequalities is
