The point-slope form:
We have
f(-9) = 10 → (-9, 10)
f(-1) = -2 → (-1, -2)
Substitute:
<h3>Answer: f(x) = -1.5x - 3.5</h3>
Answer:
a) cannot be determined
b) a triangle can be drawn, but its dimensions cannot be determined
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>a)</h3>
The vertical axis is labeled in units of kilometers. The horizontal axis is labeled as distance, with no units given. The line shown appears to descend from 12 units above ground level over a distance of 34 units along ground level. One could argue the slope is 12/34 = 6/17, but there is no indication the horizontal units are the same as the vertical units.
The slope of the graph cannot be determined, because we don't know the horizontal units.

<h3>b)</h3>
You can draw the triangle, but you cannot determine its dimensions.
The answer is 23
HOPED THIS HELPED :)
We are given the relation between the height (in feet) and the distance (in miles) as follows:
y = sqrt(1.5x + (x/5280)^2).
We want to know the height (x) that makes the distance (y) = 10 miles
So, we will simply substitute in the above equation with y = 10 and calculate x as follows:
10 = sqrt(1.5x + (x/5280)^2)
we will square both sides to get rid of the root:
100 = 1.5x + (x/5280)^2
1.5x + (x/5280)^2 - 100 = 0
(x-66.11475)(x+7986.1147) = zero
either x = 66.11475 feet (accepted solution)
or x = -7986.1147 feet (rejected solution as no height is in negative)
