The answer is very simple .

First you need to determine the slope, which is the reciprocal of the first line.

Then,

y = mx + b

m => -1/m

The perperdicular line has a new slope equal to m = -1/2

In the formula (y - y1) = m ( x - x1 ) + b , you should sustitude this value.

So the final equation will be

-3 = -1/2 (0) + b

b = - 3

y = (-1/2)x - 3

That is the solution

A) All triangles add up to 180° so when given two angles, add those up and subtract them from 180° . That will give you the missing angle.

3-5) When you do A above, and receive the measurement of angle 1, it will also equal 2 and you can repeat A for missing angle 3

6-8) Find the missing angle next to 1, and then subtract that from 180°. That number is the answer for 1. 2 is 55 as its a complimentary (i think thats the right term) angle. Which means it is on the opposite side of an angle. I don't remember how to find 3 however, its been a few years since I've done triangles.

A railroad track rises 30 feet for every 400 feet of track. What is the measure of the angle of elevation of the track?

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rising 30 feet for every 400 feet of track is not a very large angle of elevation. We set this up as a right triangle to use right triangle trig to solve for the missing angle. The height is 30 and the hypotenuse is 400. The height is the side opposite the angle in question, and the hypotenuse is the hypotenuse! This is the sin ratio. Setting up the ratio using our info:

$sin\theta=\frac{30}{400}$

When you are looking for a missing angle measure, as we are here, use the 2nd-->sin buttons to find the inverse of sin, which looks like this:

$sin^{-1}($

Enter in the fraction 30/400 after the parenthesis and then hit enter to get the angle measure of 4.3 degrees.
