Answer:

The answer to your question is:  L = 30 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

man = 6 ft

man shadow = 5 ft

lamppost shadow = 25 ft

lamppost height = ? = L

Process

                   \frac{6}{5} = \frac{L}{25}

                    L = \frac{6 x 25}{5}

                    L = \frac{150}{5}

                           L = 30 ft

Graph A line goes through the point (6,–2) and has a slope of –3. What is the value of a if the point (a,7) lies on the line?
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

The value of a is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to make an equation based on the point and slope that you were given. The formula for this is y-(y cordinate of point)=slope(x-x cordinate of slope)

y--2=-3(x-6), which simplifies to y+2=-3(x-6)

In (a,7), 7 is the y coordinate. We have to plug 7 in for the y in our equation.

7+2=-3(x-6),

Combine like terms on the left side to get to 9=-3(x-6)

Multiply out on the left to get 9=-3x+18

Subtract 18 from the left side to get -9=-3x

Divide both sides by negative 3 to get 3=x (remember x is a)
