Answer:

<h2><em>46.4°</em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagrammatic representation in the attachment given.

We can see that the diagram is a right angled triangle. To get the angle of elevation, we will use one of the trigonometry identity SOH, CAH, TOA.

Given the adjacent of the triangle to be 2miles (observation spot from the point of launch)and the opposite (side facing the elevation angle) as 2.1miles (the height), we will use TOA.

tan∅ = opposite/adjacent

tan∅ = 2.1/2

tan∅  = 1.05

∅ = tan⁻¹1.05

∅ = 46.4°

<em>Hence the angle of elevation from Kim to the space shuttle, which is at a height of 2.1 miles is approximately 46.4°</em>

1) Solve the system by elimination?
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

1) (-6,-9)

times the top equation buy -4 so you cancel out the y

so it be -8x+4y=12 no cancel out the y's

so it be -8x=12 and 5x=6

now combined like terms to get -3x= 36

x = -6 now go plug that back in one of the equations to get y

y = -9

2) (-2,-5)

now on this one you going to substitute y= (2x-1) for y in the otheir eqaution

so it look like 3x-(2x-1)=-1

do your combining of like terms and your division & you get x = -2

now plug x in to y=2x-1 to get y = -5

The slope of the line whose equation is 3x - 2y = 4 is 2/3 3/2 -2
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation 3x-2y=4 can be written in the form of y=mx+c where m is the slope and c is the y intercept.

Therefore

2y=3x-4 and dividing both sides by 2 to have y at the LHS

y=3/2x-2

Therefore, 3/2 represents the gradient/slope
