Answer:
(A) 2 meter
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that the ladder forms a 72º angle with the ground and rests against the house at a spot that is 6 meters high.
Let the measure of bottom of the ladder from the wall be x, then using the trigonometry, we have
≈
Thus, option A is correct.
Answer:
The point representing the y-intercept is: (0, -3)
The black dot represents the y-intercept on the attached graph. It is very clear at y = 0, x = -3.
The point representing the x-intercept is: (10.5, 0)
The red dot represents the x-intercept on the attached graph. It is very clear at x = 0, y = 10.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the linear equation
-2x+7y=-21
Determining the y-intercept
We know that the value of y-intercept can be determined by setting x = 0, and determining the corresponding value of y.
substituting x = 0 in the equation
-2x+7y=-21
-2(0) + 7y = -21
0+7y = -21
7y = -21
divide both sides by 7
7y/7 = -21/7
y = -3
Therefore, the point representing the y-intercept is: (0, -3)
The black dot represents the y-intercept on the attached graph. It is very clear at y = 0, x = -3.
Determining the x-intercept
We know that the value of x-intercept can be determined by setting y = 0, and determining the corresponding value of x.
substituting y = 0 in the equation
-2x+7y=-21
-2x+7(0) = -21
-2x + 0 = -21
-2x = -21
divide both sides by -2
-2x / -2 = -21 / -2
x = 21/2
x = 10.5
Therefore, the point representing the x-intercept is: (10.5, 0)
The graph of the linear equation containing the y-intercept (0, -3) and x-intercept (10.5, 0) is shown and attached below.
The red dot represents the x-intercept on the attached graph. It is very clear at x = 0, y = 10.5
