Grace is standing 14 feet from a lighthouse and Kelly is standing 12 feet from Grace. The angle that Grace looks up to see the t

op of the lighthouse is 45°. The angle that Kelly looks up to see the top of the lighthouse is y°. Find the height, h, of the lighthouse. Find the angle, rounded to the nearest tenth of a degree, in which Kelly looks up to the top of the lighthouse. To the nearest tenth of a degree, find the value of x° . In two or more sentences, explain your calculations

Grace has a 45 degree upwards angle, then the height of the lighthouse is 14'.

Case A. Kelly is 26 feet from the lighthouse.
The arcTangent of 14/26 is a 28.3 degree angle.

Case B. But if Kelly stood closer to the lighthouse, i.e. 2 feet away, then her angle is arcTangent of 14/2 = 81.9 degrees

in order to graph a linear equation in slope-interceot form, what do you need to know? what does the equation look like when the
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

(a) Slope and y-intercept; (b) y = mx; (c) y = x + b

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Need to know

Slope and y-intercept.

You use these numbers to calculate one other point. Then you draw a straight line between the y-intercept and the other point to get the graph.

2. y-Intercept = 0

The form of the equation is y = mx + b, where b is the y-intercept.

If the intercept is zero, b = 0, and the equation has the form

y = mx

The graph is a straight line passing through the origin.

3. Slope = 1

m represents the slope. If m = 1, the equation has the form

y = x + b

If the axes are scaled equally, the graph is a straight line that crosses the y-intercept at an angle of 45°.

A line is parallel to y = -2x + 1 and intersects the point (4, 1). What is the equation of this parallel line?
Furkat [3]

Using the point slope form y - y1 = m(x-x1)

m is the slope, because the lines are parallel the slope is identical, so m = -2.

Replace x1 and y1 with the given point and then solve for y:

y - 1 = -2(x-4)

Simplify:

y - 1 = -2x + 8

Add 1 to both sides:

y = -2x +9

PLZ, HELP WILL GET BRAINLIEST AND A LOT OF POINTS.
TEA [102]

Answer:

y=2(4^x)

Step-by-step explanation:

if you notice, all the y-values are multiplied by 4 for each x-value. this means 4 is raised to the power of x. however, when you plug this in, you realize that the value produced is only half the actual y-values, so you multiply this whole thing by 2.

y=2(4^x)
