Answer:

y-4=m(x+8)

Step-by-step explanation:

point slope form is y-y1=m(x-x1) where y1 is the y in the point the line passes through, and x1 is the x in the point the line passes through.

So, you can put in (-8,4) in as I did.

Also, since the x in the point the line passes through is a negative, and two negatives make a positive, that's why the x-x1 part changes into x+8

Hope my explanation makes sense!

Answer:

Point-slope equation is

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

m is a slope, m=5/4

y1 = -5, x1 = 8

Point-slope equation is

y+5 = 5/4(x - 8).

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

$\sf adjacent = 4.5 \ ft$

Given:

opposite side: 13 ft
adjacent unknown
angle of 71°

using tan rule:

$\sf tan(x) = \dfrac{opposite}{adjacent}$

$\hookrightarrow \sf tan(71) = \dfrac{13}{adjacent}$

$\hookrightarrow \sf adjacent = \dfrac{13}{tan(71) }$

$\hookrightarrow \sf adjacent = 4.5$

Ming throws a stone off a bridge into a river below.

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

1 seconds after being thrown, the stone reaches its max height

Step-by-step explanation:

The parabolic (quadratic) equation is:

$h(x)=-5(x-1)^2+45$

Lets expand this in the form $ax^2+bx+c$ , so we have:

$h(x)=-5(x-1)^2+45\\h(x)=-5(x^2-2x+1)+45\\h(x)=-5x^2+10x-5+45\\h(x)=-5x^2+10x+40$

We can say the values of a,b, and c, now to be:

a = -5

b = 10

c = 40

The number of seconds at which the max would occur is given by the point, x, at:

$x=-\frac{b}{2a}$

We know a and b, let's find the seconds, x,

$x=-\frac{b}{2a}=-\frac{10}{2(-5)}=-\frac{10}{-10}=--1=1$

Hence,

1 seconds after being thrown, the stone reach its max height
