Using proportions, considering the relation between the height and the shadow, it is found that the cell phone tower is 50 feet.

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

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

When the shadow is of 8 feet, the height is of 10 feet. What is the height when the shadow is of 40 feet? The<em> rule of three</em> is:

8 feet - 10 feet

40 feet - h feet

Applying cross multiplication:

8h = 10 x 40

Simplifying by 8:

h = 10 x 5 = 50 feet.

Solve the system by substitution.<br> y = 8x<br> y=10x – 4<br> Submit Answer<br> How
Goshia [24]

Answer:

(2,16)

Step-by-step explanation:

y=8x-----------(i)

y= 10x-4---------(ii)

Substituting the value of y=8x in equation (ii)

8x=10x-4

8x-10x=-4

-2x= -4

x=2

Now, substituting the value of x= 2 in equation (i)

y=8x=8(2)=16

Solution of the system is (2,16)

An equation of the line that passes through (3, 1) and (0, 10).
MrMuchimi

Answer:

So the equation of the line that passes through (3, 1) and (0, 10) is y=-3x+10

Step-by-step explanation:

(3, 1) and (0, 10)

m=y²-y¹/x²-x¹

m=10-1/0-3

m=9/-3

m=-3

y=mx+b

y-y=m(x-x1)

y-1=-3(x-3)

y-1=-3x+9

+1 +1

y=-3x+10

Answer the following questions about slope and y-intercept.
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

1. The y-intercept

2. The  slope of the equation represent the relationship between the time duration in which Clarissa eats chocolate is 1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The value of the y coordinate at the point which the graph meets the y-axis is called to the y-intercept. It is the value at which the x-coordinate is equal to zero, that is, the coordinate of the point at the y-intercept = (y, 0)

2. Given that Clarissa eats 1 piece of chocolate every 10 seconds, we have the  slope of the equation represent the relationship between the time duration in which Clarissa eats chocolate is 1/10.
