Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard form of an equation for a straight line is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x = 0).
We can calculate the slope from the two given points, (6,-3) and (-6,-5). Slope is Rise/Run, where Rise is the change in y and Run is the change in x.
From the two given points, starting at (-6,-5) and going to (6,-3):
Rise = (-3 - (-5)) = +2
Run = (6 - (-6)) = 12
Rise/Run (slope) = 2/12 or 1/6
The equation becomes y = (1/6)x + b
We can find b by enterieng either of the two given points and solving for b. I'll pick (6,-3):
y = (1/6)x + b
-3 = (1/6)*(6) + b
-3 = 1 + b [Now you can see why I chose (6,-3)]
b = -4
The equation is y = (1/6)x - 4
Check this with a DESMOS graph (attached).
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The formula of slope is "rise over run", where the "rise" (means change in y, up or down) and the "run" (means change in x, left or right)
In this problem
The tangent of angle of 5 degrees is equal to the quotient of "rise over run"
Let
y ----> the rise of the ramp
x ----> the run of the ramp
we have
substitute and solve for x
