Given the points (-1,6) and (3,5).

The formula to find the slope is

m=\frac{y_2-y_1_{}}{x_2-x_1}

Take

x_1=-1,y_1=6,x_2=3,y_2=5

Plug the values into the formula and find the slope.

\begin{gathered} m=\frac{5-6}{3-(-1)} \\ =\frac{-1}{4} \end{gathered}

The slope-intercept form is y = mx+b.

Plug the value of m.

y=-\frac{1}{4}x+b

ThusConsider the point (-1,6). Substitute -1 for x and for y into the equation.

\begin{gathered} 6=-\frac{1}{4}(-1)+b \\ =\frac{1}{4}+b \\ b=6-\frac{1}{4} \\ =\frac{23}{4} \end{gathered}

Thus, the equation of the line in slope intercept form is

y=-\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{23}{4}

At 3pm, the length of the shadow of a thin vertical pole standing on level ground is the same as the height of the pole. A while
aliya0001 [1]

Answer: The height of the pole is 175.97 ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the pole is x cm,

Also, let the angle of elevation of the sun to the pole at 3 pm is \theta

Thus, by the question,

tan\theta = \frac{\text{ The height of the pole}}{\text{ The height of the shadow}}

\implies tan\theta = \frac{x}{x}    ( at 3pm the height of shadow = height of the pole)

\implies tan\theta = 1

\implies \theta = 45^{\circ}

Again, according to the question,

When the angle of elevation is   (\theta - 12^{\circ}),

The height of shadow = x + 95,

\implies tan(45-12)^{\circ}=\frac{x}{x+95}

\implies tan 33^{\circ}=\frac{x}{x+95}

\implies tan 33^{\circ}x + 95\times tan33^{\circ}=x

\implies tan 33^{\circ}x - x = - 95\times tan33^{\circ}

\implies -0.3505924068 x = - 61.6937213538

x=175.969930202\approx 175.97\text{ cm}

Answer:

The answer is 0.005.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>When you divide any number by 10, you move the decimal point over to the left by </u>1 place.

If, for example, you were instead multiplying by 10, your answer would change to 0.5.
