Answer:

1.8

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this, you need the slope formula

y^2 - y^1 over

x^2 - x^1

x^1 y^2 x^2 x^1

( 5, 11) (-5 -1)

-7 - 11 = -18

-5 -5 = -10 (divide) = 1.8

Hi there! :)

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>Lesson: Slope and slope-intercept form</h2>

$\frac{Y_2-Y_1}{X_2-X_1}=\frac{RISE}{RUN}$

$\frac{(-1)-11}{(-5)-5}=\frac{-12}{-10}$

Slope is -12/-10

Final answer is -12/-10

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day! :)

A rescue helicopter flew from its home base for 35 kilometers on a course of 330 degrees to pick up an accident victim. It then

I've drawn a triangle to represent the journey (see attached.

The angle from Home to Victim to Hospital is:

a = $90 - (360 - 330) = 90- 30 = 60^o$

Using the cos rule, we can solve for the length x:

$a^2 = b^2 +c^2 - 2bccosA
\\x^2 = 35^2+25^2-2(35)(25)cos60
\\x^2 = 1850 - 875
\\x^2 = 975
\\x = \sqrt{975}
\\x = 31.2249...$

Using the cos rule, we can solve for angle b:

$a^2 = b^2 +c^2 - 2bccosA
\\35^2 = 31.22...^2+25^2-2(31.22...)(25)cosb
\\1225 = 975 + 625 - 1561.249...cosb
\\-375 = -1561.249...cosb
\\b = cos^{-1}( \frac{-375}{-1561.249...}) 
\\b = 76.1...$

So the bearing the helicopter has to travel is:

270 - 76.1 = 193.9 degrees (1 dp)

And the distance it travels is 31.2 km (1 dp)
