Answer:

y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets first try to find the slope between the two points. Note, if the slope is 0, then the line would be a horizontal line. If the slope is undefined, then it is a vertical line.

We can use the slope formula to find the slope between the two lines, but notice something. The slope formula is technically just the change in y divided by the change in x. Between the two points, the y-value does not change and the x-value does change. This means that the change in y is 0, but the change in x is not zero. This means that the slope would be 0, resulting in a horizontal line.

Now, we know that the resulting line is horizontal, meaning it will take the form of y = _. Since the y-values for both of the points is 6, it makes sense to say that the equation for the line would be y = 6.

I hope this helps. Happy studying.

Flura [38]

Answer:

Angle, $\theta=70.4^{\circ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have, an A-frame house is 45 feet high and 32 feet wide. It is required to find the measure of the angle that the roof makes with the floor.

The attached figure shows the A frame. Let $\theta$ is the angle that the roof makes with the floor. So,

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{45}{16}\\\\\tan\theta=2.81\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(2.81)\\\\\theta=70.4^{\circ}$

So, the angle of 70.4 degrees is the angle that the roof makes with the floor.

One of the factors of the polynomial x3 − 5x2 is x + 3. What is the other factor?

olya-2409 [2.1K]

The answer is letter c. x2-8x+24-[72/(x+3)]. If you do not know how to solve this using the long division method, you can always evaluate the options through the process of elimination first. Since the degree of the other factor is already 1 (x to the power of 1), you know that option d. is not the correct answer because you know that the other factor must be raised to the power of 2. That leaves us with a, b and c. Working backwards and multiplying the given factor (x+3) with the factor in b, gives us x3-5x2+72. So from there, you know that you have to eliminate 72, which can be removed when it is subtracted by itself. Letter c does just that. Try multiplying (x+3) and option c for yourself :).
