In order to fully understand the problem, it is best to sketch it. Sketching the system, we will see that the system forms a triangle where the angle of elevation is 36 degrees. We are asked to find the hypotenuse. We can use a trigonometric function. It should be noted that one of the sides should also be given in order to calculate the hypotenuse. Trigonometric functions that can be used are:
sin(theta) = opposite / hypotenuse
cos(theta) = adjacent / hypotenuse
X intercept=(1,0)
Y intercept=(0,-2)
You get x by substituting 0 for y and you get y by substituting 0 for x therefore to find y coordinates,
2(0)-2=y
0-2=y
-2=y so (0,-2)
And to find x coordinates,
2x-2=0
2x=2
2x/2=2/2
X=1 so (1, 0)
