Answer:

Choice B. 6 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

We see this is a right triangle.

The height of this right triangle is 3 km and the angle adjacent to the height leg of the triangle is (90 - 26 ) degrees = 64 degrees.

We want the distance d which is the leg opposite 64 degrees.

tan 64 = d / 3 km ;

d = 3 * tan 64 = 3 * 2.0503038 km = 6.1509 km

What is the slope of the linear relationship shown in this table of values?

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope m use any 2 ordered pairs from the table.

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, 11) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 1)

m = $\frac{-1-11}{2+4}$ = $\frac{-12}{6}$ = - 2 → B
