a source of laser light sends rays ab and ac toward two opposite walls of a hall. the light rays strike the walls at points b an

d c, as shown below:a source of laser light is at point a on the ground between two parallel walls. the walls are perpendicular to the ground. ab is a ray of light which strikes the wall on the left at point b which is 30 meters above the ground. ac is a ray of light which strikes the wall on the right at point c. the length of ac is 80 meters. the ray ab makes an angle of 45 degrees with the ground. the ray ac makes an angle of 60 degrees with the ground.what is the distance between the walls?

Let  AM be the distance between point A and the right wall and AN be the distance between A and the left wall.
Δ AMB is an isosceles right triangle and  Δ ANC is half of an equilateral triangle.
Length of AM = 30 m. Length of AN = 1/2 · 80 = 40 m.
The distance between the walls is:
30 m + 40 m = 70 m.

Find the equation of the line that has slope of 7 and passes through the point (-9,2).
lawyer [7]

Answer:

y=7x+65

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find the equation for a line that passes through the point (-9,2) and has a slope of 7.

First of all, remember what the equation of a line is:

y = mx+b

Where:

m is the slope, and

b is the y-intercept

To start, you know what m is; it's just the slope, which you said was 7. So you can right away fill in the equation for a line somewhat to read:

y=7x+b.

Now, what about b, the y-intercept?

To find b, think about what your (x,y) point means:

(-9,2). When x of the line is -9, y of the line must be 2.

Because you said the line passes through this point, right?

Now, look at our line's equation so far: . b is what we want, the 7 is already set and x and y are just two "free variables" sitting there. We can plug anything we want in for x and y here, but we want the equation for the line that specfically passes through the the point (-9,2).

So, why not plug in for x the number -9 and for y the number 2? This will allow us to solve for b for the particular line that passes through the point you gave!.

(-9,2). y=mx+b or 2=7 × -9+b, or solving for b: b=2-(7)(-9). b=65.

The equation of the line that passes through the point (-9,2) with a slope of 7

is

y=7x+65

Have a nice day!
