Answer:
the slope is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 5x
f(8) = 5(8) = 40 (8,40)
f(7) = 5*7 = 35 ( 7,35)
the slope is 5
I think the answer is $5.66
Answer:
The first transit on one side of the trench is 18 ft higher than the other side of the trench. The transit is set at 4.5 above ground, therefore the transit lens is 18' + 4.5' = 22.5' above the location on the other side of the trench. The angle of depression is the angle formed by the horizontal and the line of sight to the other side and it is given as 31°. This forms a right angle triangle with height of 22.5' and an interior angle of 31°, Then
tan( 31°) = Height / base, with the base representing the width of the trench
base = Height / tan(31°) = 22.5' / tan(31°) = 37.45' is the width of the trench
