The angle here is an acute angle at ground level.  Then the side adjacent to this angle is 126 feet.  The opp. side is the tower, 111 feet tall.

Then   

tan theta = opp / adj = 111 / 126.  Using the inverse tangent function, we find that the measure of the angle is 0.722 radian or 41 degrees (to the nearest degree).

Write an equation of the line in slope-intercept form
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

y=2x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form = y=mx+b

Where m=slope and b= y intercept

Reminder: the y intercept is where x=0

Looking at the graph, the y intercept is given as (0,-2)

There are also two points given (0, -2) and (2,2)

Reminder: to find the slope, divide the changes in y by the changes in x or substitute the numbers into this equation: y2-y1/x2-x1

2-(-2)/2-0=4/2

m=2

Now that we have the slope and y intercept, sbstitute into the equation y=mx+b:

y=2x-2
