A(-2,-9) and B(-5,-8)

The equation form: y = mx + b. Calculate m, the slope:

m = (y₂-y₁) ÷ (x₂-x₁)→ m = [(-8) - (-9)] ÷ [(-5) - (-2)] →m = (-8+9)÷(-3) = -3

y = -3.x + b. To calculate b, plugin any of A or B coordinates, say A(-2,-9)

-9 = -3(-2)+b → b = -3

Finally te equation y = -3x -3

A string running from the ground to the top of a fence has an angle of elevation of 45°. The string is 10 feet long. What is the

Elza [17]

Answer: The distance between the fence and where the string is pegged to the ground is 7.07 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of string = 10 feet

Angle of elevation = 45°

We need to find the distance between the fence and where the string is pegged to the ground.

We will apply "Cosine formula "

$\cos 45^\circ=\dfrac{Base}{Hypotenuse}\\\\\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\dfrac{Base}{10}\\\\Base=\dfrac{10}{\sqrt{2}}\\\\Base=7.07\ feet$

Hence, the distance between the fence and where the string is pegged to the ground is 7.07 feet.
