Answer:
<h3>Attachment</h3>Step-by-step explanation:
Convert to the slope-intercept form (<em>y = mx + b</em>):
<em>divide both sides by 2</em>
We choose any three x values and calculate the y value:
for x = -1
for x = 1
for x = -3
Mark the points on the coordinate plane and draw a line through the given points.
Answer: the distance of the base of the house to the foot of the ladder is 6.84 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The scenario is shown in the attached photo.
Right angle triangle ABC is formed when the ladder leans against the wall of the house.
AC = the height of the ladder
AB = x feet = distance of the base of the house to the foot of the ladder
BC is the wall of the building.
To determine x, we will apply trigonometric ratio
Cos # = adjacent/hypotenuse
Where
# = 70 degrees
Hypotenuse = 20
Adjacent = x
Cos 70 = x/20
x = 20cos70
x = 20 × 0.3420
x = 6.84 feets
