We are given an angle of elevation of 2 degrees and distance in the x axis of 5280 feet and we are asked in the problem to determine the height of the building. We use the tangent function to determine the height: that is tan 2 = h / 5280; h is equal then to 184 ft.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the sine ratio in the right triangle.
sinC = 
= 
= 
, thus
∠ C = 
( ) ≈ 34.85° ( to 2 dec. places )
Answer:
y = 
x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Here m = and c = - 4 , then
y = x - 4 ← equation of line
Answer:
Hope the picture will help you.....
You would use the point-slope equation of y-y₁=mx(x-x₁)
So the rate of change is the slope and equals m, so m=-4
and has a solution at (-5,2) which would be the (x₁, y₁) and then it is just plugging in the numbers
y - (2) = (-4)(x - (-5))
y - 2 = -4 (x+5)
y - 2 = -4x - 20
y = -4x - 18
