The equation of the line in slope-intercept form would be y = m(x - 1/5) - 8.

<h3>What is slope intercept form a straight line?</h3>

The slope-intercept form of a straight line is used to get the equation of a line. We need to know the slope of the line and the intercept where the line crosses the y-axis in order to use the slope-intercept formula.

One of the most popular ways to represent a line's equation is in the slope-intercept form of a straight line. When the slope of the straight line and the y-intercept are known, the slope-intercept formula can be used to determine the equation of a line ( the y-coordinate of the point where the line intersects the y-axis). The equation of a line is the equation that each point on the line fulfills.

Since the slope is undefined in the given question, let us consider it as m.

Therefore, slope=m

Given points are 1/5 and -8, so x₁ = 1/5 and y₁ = -8

We know the formula is, y - y₁ = slope × (x - x₁)

Putting the values of x₁, y₁ and slope in the given formula we get,

y -(-8) = m × (x-1/5)

y = m(x-1/5) - 8

Hence, we get the required equation.

Bashir works in a weather station and has launched a weather ballon. The height of the baloon is 4 kilometers and it is 1 kilome

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Explanation:

We are given that the height of the balloon is 4 km and that it is 1 km away from the station.

Setting up the diagram that describes the given scenario, we would end up with a right-angled triangle as the one shown in the attached image

where:

height of the balloon = 4 km represents one side of the triangle

distance between the base of the balloon and the station = 1 km represents the other side

distance between the balloon and the station is the length we want to find and it represents the hypotenuse of the triangle.

To get the length of the hypotenuse, we will use the Pythagorean theorem

$hypotenuse = +\sqrt{(side1)^2 + (side2)^2}$

Substitute with the givens:

$hypotenuse = +\sqrt{(4)^2 + (1)^2}$ = √17 ≈ 4.1 km

Hope this helps :)

Find the area of the shaded region

zepelin [54]

Answer:

area of a circle πr^2

r = 10/2 r = 5

π5^2 = 78.5

area of the square length X width

7 x 7 = 49

78.5 - 49 = 29.5

shaded region = 29.5 square cm

Answer:

660 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

1 chain = 66 feet

Length ( l ) = 66 feet

Breadth ( b ) = 10 feet

To find :

The area of a cricket pitch in square feet = ?

The area of a cricket pitch in square feet will be in the shape of rectangle.

Formula : -

Area of a rectangle = lb

Area of a rectangle

= 66 x 10

= 660 square feet

Therefore,

660 square feet is the area of a cricket pitch.
