What the slope formula represents

2 answers:

4 0

The slope formula is y=mx+b. Y is a variable. m is the actual slope. It tells you how much the x will move. For example, if a slope was 2x, x would move up 2 and over 1. If the slope was 1/2 x, x would move up 1 and over 2. A way to remember slope is rise over run. X is a variable. B is a point on the y-intercept that is will the line will start. An example is y=x+3. The y-intercept is 3 and x would move up one and over one.

Answer:

We know that since it's a square, the lenght size is the same on all sides. We can simply use pythagoras theorem:

a^2 + a^2 = 13.5^2

13.5^2 = 182,25‬

182,25 : 2 (because there are 2 'a') = 91,125

<u>The square root of 91,125 is 9,55 feet.</u>

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-4, 2) and has a<br> slope of -2?

Furkat [3]

Step-by-step explanation:

use the equation of the straight line

y-y1=m (x-x1)

y-2=-2(x+4)

y-2= -2x-8

y= -2x-8+2

y= -2x-6

A surveyor wishes to determine the height of a mountain. At a given position he measures the angle of elevation to the top as 43

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

4,486.93 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'h' be the height of the mountain and 'x' be the horizontal distance between the first position measured and the top of the mountain.

Two right triangles can be modeled such that their tangent relationships yield:

$tan(43.66) = \frac{h}{x}\\tan(38.2) = \frac{h}{x+1000}$

Solving the linear system:

$x= \frac{h}{tan(43.66)}\\x = \frac{h}{tan(38.2)} -1000\\\frac{h}{tan(43.66)}=\frac{h}{tan(38.2)} -1000\\1000 = 0.222869*h\\h=4,486.93\ ft$

The mountain is 4,486.93 ft high.
