Why would engineers and architects need to find angles in a polygon

1 answer:

8 0

As a engineer who was mechanical then electrical most buildings, schematics,etc require some form of calculation for some shapes seeing that those shapes are what make up the world. Say for example you need to make something like a mother board pro house knowing it's shape and angle helps make a more accurate structure during the blue printing and build phase. No one just goes in and wings it you need to determine angles for things you don't know that the point of it.

Right the slope intercept form for the line that travels through (4,-1) and is parallel to y=1/4x

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is given to you by the line y = 1/4 x

The slope is just read as the number in front of x providing that the coefficient of y is 1. If that is not so, then you must divide by the coefficient in front of y. So far what you have is y = 1/4 x + b.

The second part of the question is to use the given point to find b.

x = 4

y = -1

b = ? substitute x and y to find b

y = 1/4 * 4 + b

- 1 = 1/4 * 4 + b

-1 = 1 + b

-2 = b

The equation of the line is y = 1/4 x - 2 Just to confirm this, I'm going to include the graph with the point 4,-1 on it.
