Answer:

y = 1/5x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing you should know is that the slope of a perpendicular line is the opposite reciprocal. So, the slope of line j is 1/5. This is your current equation: y=1/5x + b. Plug in your coordinate to the equation, it should look like this: 9=1/5(5)+ b. 1/5 times 5 equals 1, so this is what it should look like: 9=1 + b. Subtract 1 from both sides to get 8 = b. Go back to your original equation and plug in 8 to b. This is your final equation: y = 1/5x + 8. Hope this helped!

PLEASE KNOW BEFORE YOU ANSWER.
barxatty [35]

Answer:

The error is the exponent in the answer should be 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you move the decimal place one spot as they do in the final step to move it from a base 10 to a base 1, we have to add a exponent on. Therefore, it should go from 10 to 11.

Which equation could be used to find the height of the flagpole
Sauron [17]
X = height of pole (in meters)

With respect to the 50 degree angle, the side x is the opposite leg. It is the leg furthest from the reference angle. The hypotenuse is 5 meters. 

The trig function sine ties together the opposite and hypotenuse

sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse
sin(50) = x/5
5*sin(50) = x .... multiply both sides by 5
x = 5*sin(50)

------------------

Since x = 5*sin(50) isn't listed as an answer choice, let's try using cosine. We can't use it right away because we don't know the adjacent side. What we can do is change the reference angle. The missing angle of the triangle is 90-50 = 40 degrees. Let's make the 40 degree angle the reference angle

So x is now the adjacent side with respect to the 40 degree reference angle. The hypotenuse is always the longest side. The hypotenuse stays at 5.

cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos(40) = x/5
5*cos(40) = x
x = 5*cos(40)

This expression is listed. The answer is choice B
