Answer:

height of the tree is 30 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

a tree casts a shadow 42 feet long . at the same time, a person 5 feet tall casts a shadow 7 feet long.

shadow of a 5 feet tall person is 7 feet long

Let x be the height of the tree

shadow of a 42 feet tree is x feet long

Make a proportion

\frac{x}{42} =\frac{5}{7}

cross multiply

7x=(42)(5)

7x=210

divide by 7 on both sides

x=30

So height of the tree is 30 feet

(4,-2)(5,0)
slope(m) = (0 - (-2) / (5 - 4) = 2/1 = 2
there is going to be 2 possible answers...

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
now we sub

using points (4,-2)..... y -(-2) = 2(x - 4) =
y + 2 = 2(x - 4) <==

using points (5,0)....y - 0 = 2(x - 5) <==
