Answer:

$y+1=-2(x-5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the equation of a line in 3 different forms including slope intercept, point-slope, and standard depending on the information we have. We have a point given and a slope from the equation. We will chose point-slope since we have a point and the slope.

We will substitute $m=-2$ and $x_1=5\\y_1=-1$ .

$y-(-1)=-2 (x-5)$

$y+1=-2(x-5)$

This is the equation of the line with slope -2 that passes through (5,-1).

Answer:

22.9m

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagorean theorem, we can get two equations using the angles.

From Point A:

∠A = 20°

AB = 20m

From Point B:

∠B = 29°

BD = x

What we are looking for is the opposite side of each right triangle, each person makes because we have one adjacent side. We also know that both opposite sides will be equal.

So we use this formula for both point of views:

$Tan\theta=\dfrac{Opposite}{adjacent}$

Where:

Opposite = height of the building

Adjacent = distance from the building

We are looking for the opposite side so we can tweak our formula to get an equation for the height

$height=(Tan\theta)(distance)$

Using our given, we can solve for the distance of point B to D:

$(Tan20)(20+x) = (Tan29)(x)\\\\(0.3640)(20+x) = (0.5543)(x)\\\\\dfrac{(7.28+0.3640x)}{0.5543}=x\\\\13.1337 + 0.6567x = x\\\\13.1337 = x - 0.6567x\\\\13.1337 = 0.3433x\\\\\dfrac{13.1337}{0.3433}=x\\\\38.2572 = x$

The distance of point B to D is 38.2572 m.

Now that we know the distance of BD we can solve for the height of the building using only the given from point B.

$height=(Tan\theta)(distance)$

$height=(Tan29)(38.2572m)$

$height=(0.5543)(38.2572m)$

$height=21.21m$

But this is only the height from the line of sight. To get the height of the building from the ground, we just add the height of the viewer, which is 1.7m.

21.21m + 1.7m = 22.91m

The closest answer is: 22.91 m

Translate the shape A by the vector ( 1 4 ) .

zhenek [66]

Translating shape A by the vector $(^1_4)$ means translating 1 unit right and 4 unit up to get A'(4, 7), B'(7, 7), C'(7, 5) and D'(4, 5)

<h3>What is a transformation?</h3>

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial point to a new location. Types of transformation are<em> reflection, rotation, translation and dilation.</em>

Let us assume that the vertices of shape A is at A(3, 3), B(6, 3), C(6, 1) and D(3, 1)

Translating shape A by the vector $(^1_4)$ means translating 1 unit right and 4 unit up to get A'(4, 7), B'(7, 7), C'(7, 5) and D'(4, 5)
