3 is the least common multiple

The y intercept is (0, -7)
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
<em><u>Given equation is:</u></em>
y - 3 = 5(x - 2)
<em><u>Find the x intercept</u></em>
Substitute y = 0 in given equation

<em><u>Find the y intercept:</u></em>
Substitute x = 0 in given equation

Thus the y intercept is (0, -7)
For this case we can model the problem as a rectangle triangle.
We know:
Length of the hypotenuse
Angle between the base of the triangle and the hypotenuse.
We want to know:
Length of the base.
For this we use the following trigonometric relationship:
<em>cos</em>(15)=x/100
Clearing x we have:
x=500*<em>cos</em>(15)
x=482.96
Rounding to the nearest tenth of a meter:
x=483.0m
Answer:
The horizontal distance she has covered is:
x=483.0m
