x=-9-4y

substitute

2(-9-4y)+5y=-6

-18-8y+5y=-6

-18-3y=-6

-3y=-6+18

-3y=12

-3y÷-3= 12÷-3

y=-4

A flagpole is at the top of a building. 300 feet from the base of the building, the angle of elevation of the top of the pole is

Grace [21]

Answer: We can use tangent here to find the length of the flagpole

First, find the length of the building + the flag pole

tan 32 = x/300

x=300tan32=187.460805573

(length of building + flagpole)

find length of building

tan 30 = x/300

x=173.205080757

subtract

187.460805573-173.205080757=14.255724816

round, length of flagpole = 14 feet

A student states that the constant of proportionality is 2.5 since 10 - 7.5 = 2.5.

Svetradugi [14.3K]

I cannot see the table. But if I could that would be helpful.

But, if you were to look at the table see if the numbers are increasing or decreasing for the y column. Once you figure this out, find out how much the numbers are increasing/decreasing by and that should be the answer for the constant of proportionality. If it is decreasing, it would be a negative number. If it is increasing, it would be a positive number.
