The distance between the helicopter and the first home is 369. 87 m

<h3>How to solve the distance using the angle of depression?</h3>

The distance between the helicopter and the first home can be found using sine law,

Hence,

180 - 72 - 49 = 59 degrees.

Therefore,

420 / sin 59 = A / sin 49°

where

  • A  = distance form the first home to the helicopter.

cross multiply

420 sin 49 = A sin 59°

A = 420 sin 49 / sin 59

A = 316.978023694 / 0.8571673007

A = 369.869339199

A = 369. 87 m

Therefore, the distance between the helicopter and the first home is 369. 87 m

I'm pretty sure it would be <span>x - y + 1 = 0 because if you plug in one of the coordinates into each equation, this is the only one that works.

</span><span>y - x + 1 = 0
2 - 1 + 1 = 0
2 = 0 not correct

</span><span>x - y + 1 = 0
1 - 2 + 1 = 0
0 = 0 correct

</span><span>-x - y + 1 = 0
-1 - 2 + 1 = 0
-2 = 0 not correct
