At first we will find the slope of the line that <span>passes through the points A and B
</span>
<span>A ( -10,8), B(2,3)
slope = (Δy)/(Δx) = (3-8)/(2-(-10)) = -5/12

the require line is parallel to the line </span><span><span>passes through the points A and B
</span>∴ the slope of the line </span><span>that passes through Point X = -5/12
and have a general form
   y = m x + c
where m is the slope and c is constant
the constant can be calculated by substituting with the point x (-5,10) in the equation of general form
∴ 10 = (-5/12)*-5 + c
   c = 10 - 25/12 = 95/12
∴ y = (-5/12)x +95/12  ⇒⇒⇒⇒ multiplying the equation by 12

∴ 12y = -5x +95

Micah is flying a kite and has used all of the 50 meters of the string. If the kite is 13 meters above the ground, what is the a
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

60.0735651 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

So the hypotenuse is 50 and the vertical leg is 13

For the angle, you need to find the sine (opposite and hypotenuse)

sin(x) = 13/50

x = asin(13/50)

x = 60.0735651

A dolphin in an aquarium is 12 feet long. A scale model of the dolphin is 3.5 inches long. What is the scale factor of the mode?
polet [3.4K]

 Assuming the life sized dolphin is 12 ft long, what we want to know is what factor do you multiply 12 ft by to get 3.5 inches so converting this to an equation gives: 12*f=3.5 solving for f gives f=3.5/12=.29166...The units on the factor are inches/foot.

        So to get the size if anything linear in the small scale you just multiply it's dimension in the full scale by f.

I'm confused about how to find x.
NikAS [45]
Hi! so you would find x by adding the corners up to 180 degrees.

steps:
Add the corners
90+(2x+1)+(5x+5)
7x+96=180
then subtract 96 from 180
you’d get 7x = 84
then divide 7 on both sides and get x=12
