First, let's calculate the horizontal and vertical components of the wind speed (W) and the airplane speed (A), knowing that south is a bearing of 270° and northeast is a bearing of 45°:

\begin{gathered} W_x=W\cos45°\\ \\ W_x=50\cdot0.707\\ \\ W_x=35.35\\ \\ \\ \\ W_y=W\sin45°\\ \\ W_y=50\cdot0.707\\ \\ W_y=35.35 \end{gathered}\begin{gathered} A_x=A\cos270°\\ \\ A_x=540\cdot0\\ \\ A_x=0\\ \\ \\ \\ A_y=A\sin270°\\ \\ A_y=540\cdot(-1)\\ \\ A_y=-540 \end{gathered}

Now, let's add the components of the same direction:

\begin{gathered} V_x=W_x+A_x=35.35+0=35.35\\ \\ V_y=W_y+A_y=35.35-540=-504.65 \end{gathered}

To find the resultant bearing (theta), we can use the formula below:

\begin{gathered} \theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{V_y}{V_x})\\ \\ \theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{-504.65}{35.35})\\ \\ \theta=-86° \end{gathered}

The angle -86° is equivalent to -86 + 360 = 274°.

Therefore the correct option is b.

NNADVOKAT [17]
Depreciation = (Cost - Residual)/Useful Life
Cost = $48,000
Residual = $9,000
Useful Life = 15 years

Depreciation = (48,000-9,000)/15
Depreciation = 39,000/15
Depreciation = $2,600

The refrigerator will depreciate at $2,600 a year.

I needed to write this is point slope form which I am having some difficulty understanding. Please tell me if I am correct or in
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

It looks like you wrote the equation in point-slope form perfectly!

But for part c, it seems as though x1 and y1 would represent parts of the midpoint formula. So, I would specify and say that they represent the midpoint, not just a point.
