You measure your height and the height of your shadow the you measure the height of the poles shadow and you then have the equation
y(your height)/s(your shadows height)=x(flagpoles height)/z(flagpoles shadow)
then to find the answer you just multiply the z by y/s

I need to find the equation of the line. Can someone please help?
NikAS [45]

The formula is y = mx + b when b = y-intercept and m is the slope.

Slope = Rise/Run So 1/2.

Y-Int. = The y value at which x = 0. Which is -3

The line has the formula:

Y = 1/2x - 3

Hope this helps :)

NEED HELP NEED HELP please if you know show me how you got the answer
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

It says to Graph y = 1/2x - 4

So equation y = 1/2x - 4

this corresponds to slope intercept form which is y = mx + b

M = slope = rise / run

B =  y - intercept

First, start at the origin, (0,0)

Then go down 4, you should now be on the coordinate (0,4)

Now we need to use the slope.

The slope is 1 / 2, this means rise 1, run 2 (in this case 2 to the right because it is positive)

So, start at (0 , 4) and go up 1 unit then 2 to the right, then place a dot, keep repeating until you meet the end of the paper.

Then do the opposite so that you can graph the other side.

Down 1 and 2 to the left.
