Answer:
y = 2x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>(a) Slope </em>
The point-slope formula for a straight line is
y₂ - y₁ = m(x₂ - x₁)
The line goes through the points (-1, 0) and (0, 2).
2 – 0 = m[0 – (-1)]
2 = m
(b) y-intercept
y = mx + b
Use the point (0, 2)
2 = 2× 0+ b
2 = 0 + b
b = 2
∴ y = 2x + 2
Answer:
The tree is 20.6 ft tall.
Step-by-step explanation:
Please check the attached graph.
From the diagram, it is clear that John is 5 ft tall is standing 20 feet away from a tree, making an angle of elevation to be 38⁰.
The diagram makes a right-angled triangle.
Pythagorean Theorem:
For a right-angled triangle, with sides 'a' and 'b', the hypotenuse 'c' is defined as:
substituting a=5, b=20
ft
Thus, the tree is 20.6 ft tall.
