Answer:
A line that passes through (3, -8) and (7,-2).
Denote equation of that line: y = ax + b
=> Slope a can be directly determined by:
a = (7 - 3)/(-2 - -8) = 4/6 = 2/3
=> y = (2/3)x + b
This line passes (3, -8), then: -8 = (2/3)*3 + b => -8 = 2 + b => b = -10
=> y =(2/3)x - 10
There are other ways to find equation of line.
Hope this helps!

Given:
Height of Mountain A = 5210 feet
Distance of Mountain A from a helicopter above the peak = 1000 feet
Angle of depression:
Mountain B to helicopter = 43 degrees
Mountain B to Mountain A = 19 degrees
First, draw an illustration and label the enumerated given values.
Observe that there are two right triangles formed:
From the triangle formed by the helicopter and Mountain B,
let x = total height of mountain B
y = leg of first triangle (helicopter and mountain b)
h = hypotenuse
Use the Pythagorean Theorem:
cos (43) = y / h
From the second triangle formed by mountain b and a,
cos (19) = (1000 + y) / h
solve for h and y
then, solve for the height of Mountain B:
x = 1000 + y + 5210
I'm assuming, from what you've given me that the question is asking to do this.
15n=647
647 divided by 15 equals 43.13...repeated
Let me know if this is what you are looking for.
q= -1/2
perpendicular slopes are those that are opposite sign and reciprocal of the original given slope
The answer is 78.4. Hope this helps!
