What’s the y = to ???

Mathematics

Gemiola [76]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

y=1.5x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we solve for the slope. The slope can be found by dividing the change in y by the change in x. We take:

(4,1)

(2,-2)

change in y: 1-(-2) = 3

change in x: 4-2 = 2

therefore, the slope is 3/2, or 1.5.

Second, we solve for the y-intercept (the b in mx+b).

Because we know that the slope is 1.5, we can simply plug it into a coordinate to find the y-intercept.

Let's take the coordinate (4,1).

4 is the x-coordinate, so we multiply by 1.5 (because the equation is of the form mx+b, m being slope and x being the x-coordinate value). The product is 6.

We know that 6 + b = 1. b must, therefore, be -5.

We plug it into the second coordinate to check.

2*1.5 = 3. 3-5 = -2. This is correct!

The equation for the given points is y=1.5x-5

Blababa [14]
You have to include a drawing that relates the distace between de towers and some angles.

I will use one that gives the angle from the base of Seafirst Tower to the top of Columbia tower as 53 degress.

This lets you calculate the distance between the towers, d, as

tan(53) = 954 / d => d = 954 / tan(53) = 718.89ft

The same drawing gives the angle from the the base of the Columbtia tower to the top of the Seafirst Tower as 27 degrees.

Tnen, tan(27) = height / d => height = d*tan(27) = 718.89*tan(27) = 366.29 ft

Answer: 366.29 ft

Expand can mean "To stretch or unfold." How can this definition help you remember this definition
mihalych1998 [28]
<span>There are several examples that can help one remember the definition of expand. To begin with, a balloon can expand when air or water enters it, depending on the type. Cookies often expand when baking due to the leavening agent used in the recipe. When we stretch our bodies, our muscles often expand.</span>
