Answer:

3y+5x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is on equations of parallel lines

Finding the gradient m of line AB

m=change in y coordinates/change in x-co-ordinates

Given points A(-3,0) and B (-6,5)

m=Δy/Δx  Δy=5-0=5      Δx=-6 - -3= -3  ⇒m= - 5/3

Equation

The line will have its gradient equal to - 5/3

m=-5/3  

point is the origin (0,0)

m=Δy/Δx

y-0/x-0 = -5/3

3(y-0)=-5(x-0)

3y-0= -5x+0

3y=-5x

3y+5x=0

A 20 ft tall ladder standing next to a statue casts a 12 ft shadow. If the statue casts a shadow that is 9 ft long then how tall
Greeley [361]

Given that,

Length of the ladder = 20 ft

It casts a 12 ft shadow

To find,

If the statue casts a shadow that is 9 ft long then how tall is it?

Solution,

Let the ladder be x ft tall.

20 ft tall ladder = 12 ft shadow

9 ft tall ladder =

\dfrac{20}{12}\times 9\\\\=15\ ft

Hence, the required length is 15 ft.
