Hi there!
We can use right-triangle trigonometry to solve.
We are given the HYPOTENUSE and ADJACENT sides, so we must use cosine in this instance.
cosθ = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
We can plug in what is given:
cos(28) = A/17
Solve for 'A':
17cos(28) = <u>15.01 ft</u>
By rewriting the given line, we can see that the slope is equal to -1/2 or -0.5
<h3>
How to get the slope of the given line?</h3>
Remember that a line is:
y = a*x + b
Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line, which is the point where the line intersects the y-axis.
Then, we can rewrite our equation:
x + 2y = 16
to:
2y = 16 - x
y = (16 - x)/2
y = (-1/2)*x + 8
Comparing with the general line equation, we can see that the slope is -1/2.

Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope of a line passes through (a,b) and (c,d) = 
In graph(below) given line is passing through (-2,-4) and (2,2) .
Slope of the given line passing through (-2,-4) and (2,2) =
Since parallel lines have equal slope . That means slope of the required line would be .
Equation of a line passing through (a,b) and has slope m is given by :_
(y-b)=m(x-a)
Then, Equation of a line passing through(-3, 1) and has slope = is given by
