Using the slope concept, it is found that the balloon's vertical distance above the ground is of 437.4 feet.
<h3>What is a slope?</h3>
The slope is given by the <u>vertical change divided by the horizontal change</u>, and it's also the tangent of the angle of depression.
In this problem:
- The vertical change is x.
- The horizontal change is of 602 ft.
Hence, applying the concept:
tan (36º) = x/602
x = 602 x tan(36º)
x = 437.4.

Answer:
x is given as -1.5. Substitute to confirm
Plotting coordinates can be a little confusing, but it doesn't have to be as long as you remember a few important details. The first number in the coordinate set tells you how far right (for a positive number) or left (for a negative number) you need to travel on the x-axis. The second number in the coordinate set tells you how far up (for a positive number) or down (for a negative number) you need to travel on the y-axis. Any set of coordinates can be represented by the variables x and y. If you picture (x, y), it will help you remember the x-coordinate comes first, so you will travel either right or left before travelling up or down.
