X+2y=18
-x      -x
2y=-x+18
/2   /2  /2

y=mx+b
y=-1/2x+9


the slope is -1/2

You solve for y. you dont need the x intercept 
x+2y=18
2y=-x+18
divide everything by two
y=-1/2x+9
the slope would be -1/2 
since in the equation y=mx+b 
m represents the slope which in this case would be -1/2

A surveyor found the angle of elevation from the ground to the top of the building at two locations 20 feet apart as shown below
Serga [27]

Applying the sine ratio and law of sines, the correct measurements are:

B. m∠B = 15°

E. h ≈ 31.28 ft.

<h3>What is the Sine Ratio?</h3>

Sine ratio that can be used to determine the side length of a right triangle is, sin ∅ = opposite side/hypotenuse.

Find c using the law of sines:

C = 33°

A = 180 - 48 = 132 [linear pair]

B = 180 - 33 - 132 = 15° [triangle sum theorem]

b = 20 ft

c = ?

Using the law of sines, b/sin B = c/sin C, we have:

20/sin 15 = c/sin 33

(c)(sin 15) = (20)(sin 33)

c = (20 × sin 33)/sin 15

c ≈ 42.09

Use the sine ratio to find h:

∅ = 48°

Hypotenuse = c = 42.09

Opposite = h = ?

sin 48 = h/42.09

h = (sin 48)(42.09)

h ≈ 31.28

The correct measurements are:

B. m∠B = 15°

E. h ≈ 31.28 ft

If ΔEFG ~ ΔLMN with a ratio of 2:1, which of the following is true?
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

  segment EF over segment LM equals segment FG over segment MN

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are similar, not congruent, so any answer choice with the word "congruent" can be ignored.

The sequence of letters in the triangle name tells you the corresponding segments:

  • EF corresponds to LM
  • EG corresponds to LN
  • FG corresponds to MN

Corresponding segments have the same ratio, so ...

  EF/LM = FG/MN . . . . . . matches the first answer choice

  EF/LM = EG/LN . . . . does not match the 3rd answer choice

The table shows a linear function.
sergejj [24]

Answer:

\large\boxed{y=\dfrac{5}{3}x+9}

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

y=mx+b

<em>m</em><em> - slope</em>

<em>b</em><em> - y-intercept → (0, b)</em>

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

From the table we have an y-intercept (0, 9) → b = 9.

Take other point from the table (-6, -1).

Calculate the slope:

m=\dfrac{-1-9}{-6-0}=\dfrac{-10}{-6}=\dfrac{5}{3}

Finally:

y=\dfrac{5}{3}x+9
