We are tasked to solved for the length of the ramp having an inclination of 15 degrees with the ground and 10 feet from the end of the ramp to the base of the building of the ground. Using trigonometric properties, we have a formula given an angle and the its opposite sides which is,
sin(Angle)=opposite/hypothenuse
hypothenuse would be the distance or the length of the ramp.
so we have,
sin(15)=10/hypothenuse
Cross-multiply, we have,
hypothenuse=10/sin(15)
using scientific calculator having a DEG mode,
hypothenuse=38.63703
Rounding of in nearest tenth we get,
hypothenuse=38.6 ft
Therefore, the ramp is 38.6 ft long

Graph the line y = kx +1 if it is known that the point M belongs to it: M(1,3)
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

M(x,y) = (1,3) belongs to the line y = 2\cdot x +1. Please see attachment below to know the graph of the line.

Step-by-step explanation:

From Analytical Geometry we know that a line is represented by this formula:

y=k\cdot x + b

Where:

x - Independent variable, dimensionless.

y - Dependent variable, dimensionless.

k - Slope, dimensionless.

b - y-Intercept, dimensionless.

If we know that b = 1, x = 1 and y = 3, then we clear slope and solve the resulting expression:

k = \frac{y-b}{x}

k = \frac{3-1}{1}

k = 2

Then, we conclude that point M(x,y) = (1,3) belongs to the line y = 2\cdot x +1, whose graph is presented below.

What is the slope of the line that goes through the points (2,-1) and (6,1)
drek231 [11]

Answer: The slope is \frac{1}{2}.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You set up your Slope Formula M=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}.

2. Substitue your points into the formula.M=\frac{1--1}{6-2}.

3. Once you substitute, you will solve the equationM=\frac{2}{4}.

4. Simplify the equation if you have to M=\frac{1}{2\\}.
