A parallel equation (when graphed) will have the same slope, but a different y-intercept.
As long as you keep y = -
x + b, you can input anything for b to solve this question.
Given:
y = -
x - 5
Equation of a parallel line:
y = -
x + 6, y = -
x + 1,356, y = -
x - 8, etc
Example answer you can use:
y = -
x - 8
Answer:
50ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi,
Considering that one side is equal to 38 degrees, we know this isn't a 30 - 60 - 90 triangle.
One of the legs is equal to 40 feet
So, tan(b) = 40/x
tan(38 degrees) is 0.78 round up to 0.8 (if that's what your teacher wants)
0.8 = 40/x
0.8x = 40
x = 50ft
I hope this helps
