Using the slope concept, it is found that the change in elevation was of -699 feet.

<h3>What is a slope?</h3>

The slope is given by the <u>vertical change divided by the horizontal change</u>, and it's also the tangent of the angle of depression.

In this problem, we have that:

  • The vertical change is of h.
  • The horizontal change is of 10,000 feet.
  • The angle is of -4º.

Hence:

tan(-4º) = h/10000

h = 10000 x tan(-4º)

h = -699.

A line passes through the point (-2, 3) and has a slope of -2. What is the equation of the line?
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

y = -2x -1

Step-by-step explanation:

slope intercept form is y = mx +b

m = slope, b = y intercept

point is given as ordered pair (x,y)

plug in slope into y=......

y= -2x+b

plug in the point

3 = -2 * (-2) + b

3= 4 +b subtract 4 on each side

b = -1

y = -2x -1

You purchase one microsoft july $72 put contract for a premium of $1. 32. what is your maximum possible profit?
goldenfox [79]

The maximum possible profit = $7068

For given question,

One Microsoft July $72 put contract for a premium of $1.32

The payoff arise from put option is max (K - S, 0) - P

Now it would be maximum at S = 0

And, the maximum payoff is

K - 0 - P

= K - P

= 72 - 1.32

= $70.68

We assume that for each and every contract the number of shares is 100

So, the maximum profit gained from this strategy is

= $70.68 × 100 shares

= $7068

The maximum profit that will be gained from this strategy is $7068

Therefore, the maximum possible profit = $7068

What is the answer to this
DanielleElmas [232]
The most general function here would be y = kx^2.
Let y=245 and x=7 to find the value of the constant of proportionality k:

245 = k(7)^2, or 49k = 245, or 5.

Then the specific function that applies here is y = 5x^2.
