Answer:

52.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Light reflects off a mirror at the same angle it hits it at (as shown in the image). Since both triangles are right triangles, we can say they are similar by AA similarity.

Since they're similar, we can write a proportion.

HT / TV = JS / SV

Plugging in values:

5.8 / 4 = JS / 36

JS = 52.2

The wall is 52.2 feet tall.

What is the equation of a line that is parallel to y=2/3x+4 and passes through the point (3,7)

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

y=2/3x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines share the same slope so we already know the slope: 2/3.

Now we need to find the y-intercept for the equation. To do that, replace 4 with b. We have y=2/3x+b.

To find out what b is, we need to plug in the x and y values we are given into the current equation. We get 7=2/3(3)+b.

7=2+b

5=b

Now we can put all the information we have together.

y=2/3x+5
