Answer: B
Work:
-5x+10>-15 = x<3/10
The horizontal distance is the difference of x-coordinates: 6 - 4 = 2.
The vertical distance is the difference of y-coordinates: -1 - (-2) = 1.
The straight-line distance (d) can be found using the Pythagorean theorem, since the vertical and horizontal distances are at right angles to each other.
.. d² = 2² + 1² = 5
.. d = √5 ≈ 2.2
The distance UV is about 2.2.
Subtract 10 and collect terms to get the variable term by itself on the left.
... 4c = 24
Divide by the coefficient of the variable, 4.
... c = 6
The appropriate choice is the second one:
... 6
_____
You don't actually have to sove the equation to find the right answer. You just need to see which answer works.
-6: 5(-6) -(-6) +10 = -14 ≠ 34
6: 5(6) -(6) +10 = 34 . . . . . . . this answer works (you can stop here)
11: 5(11) -(11) +10 = 54 ≠ 34
-11: 5(-11) -(-11) +10 = -34 ≠ 34
Answer:
The angle complies with the state regulations.
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle of elevation is the angle
in the figure, and from trigonometry we find that

taking the inverse sine of both sides we get

which gives

which is less than 5°, and therefore is well within the state regulations.
