Answer:

The tree is 45 meters high.

Step-by-step explanation:

Drawing this out will make it much easier.

In the figure, 3 is proportional to 27, and 5 is proportional to the missing side (x).

Insert the figures into an equation and solve:

3/5 *  27/x

Cross multiply:

3(x)= 27(5)

3x=135

135/3=x

x=45

What is the equation of a line passing through (5,2) and parallel to the line represented by the equation y - 2x + 1?
34kurt

Step-by-step explanation:

Im not sure if its supposed y = -2x + 1 or y = 2x + 1 but I'll solve the problem for both.

First for y = -2x + 1

Since the line has to be parallel to y = -2x + 1

the slopes would be the same.

so, so far the equation would be

y = -2x + b

now we substitute (5,2) into the equation

2 = -2(5) + b

2 = -10 + b (Add 10 to both sides of the equation)

+10 +10

12 = b

Now that we solved for b

The equation would be

y = -2x + 12

^^ This equation is parallel to y = -2x + 1

Now to solve for an equation parallel to y = 2x + 1

Both equations would have the same slope

So far we would have

y = 2x + b

Now we solve for be by substituting the point (5,2)

2 = 2(5) + b

2 = 10 + b (subtract 10 from both sides)

-10 -10

-8 = b

After solving for b

The equation is

y = 2x - 8

This equation is parallel to y = 2x + 1
