Answer: The angle that the slide makes with the ground x = 36°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of slide = 14.5 ft

Length of ladder = 8.5 ft

Angle of elevation be 'x'.

We will use "Sine rule ":

\sin x=\frac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}=\frac{8.5}{14.5}\\\\\sin x=0.5862\\\\x=\sin^{-1}(0.5862)\\\\x=35.88\\\\x\approx 36^\circ

Hence, the angle that the slide makes with the ground x = 36°.

1.What basic trigonometric identity would you use to verify that cot x sin x = cos x? . .
zavuch27 [327]
1 ) cot x * sin x = cos x
(cos x / sin x) * sin x = cos x 
cos x = cos x
Answer: B ) cot x = cos x / sin x
2 ) ( sin² x + cos² x ) / cos x = sec x
1/cos x = sec x
sec x = sec x
Answer: C ) cos² x + sin² x = 1

Finding gradient of the orginal line
=3+1/0-3
=-4/3
Since parallel lines are equal the other line would be -4/3 (gradient)
Sub (-3;2) into y=mx+c
2=-4/3 (-3)+c
2=4+5
2-4=c
-2 = c

Therefore sub all your info and you get y= -4/3x-2
