Answer:

The equation of the line would be y = -3/2x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this, start by finding the slope of the original line. You can do this by solving for y.

2x - 3y = 12

-3y = -2x + 12

y = 2/3x - 4

Now that we have a slope of 2/3, we know that the perpendicular slope is -3/2 (since perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes). We can use this and the new point in point-slope form to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 6 = -3/2(x - 2)

y - 6 = -3/2x + 3

y = -3/2x + 9

There is a lightning rod on top of a building. From a location 500 feet from the base of the building, the angle of elevation to
Kitty [74]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The height of the  lightning rod is 27.4 feet.

<h2>Why?</h2>

To solve the problem, we need to use the given information about the two points of observation, since both are related (both finish and start at the same horizontal distance) we need to write to equations in order to establish a relationship.

So, writing the equations we have:

We know that the angle of elevation from the base of the buildings is 36°

Also, we know that from the same location, the angle of elevation to the top of the lightning rod is 38°.

Using the information we have:

To the top of the building:

tan(\alpha )=\frac{DistanceToTheTopOfTheBuilding}{BuildingBase}\\\\tan(36\°)=\frac{DistanceToTheTopOfTheBuilding}{BuildingBase}

To the top of the lightning rod:

tan(\alpha )=\frac{DistanceToTheTopOfTheLightningRod}{BuildingBase}\\\\tan(38\°)=\frac{DistanceToTheTopOfTheLightningRod}{BuildingBase}

Now, isolating we have:

tan(36\°)=\frac{DistanceToTheTopOfTheBuilding}{BuildingBase}\\\\DistanceToTheTopOfTheBuilding=tan(36\°)*BuildingBase \\\\DistanceToTheTopOfTheBuilding=tan(36\°)*500feet=363.27feet

Also, we have that:

tan(38\°)=\frac{DistanceToTheTopOfTheLightningRod}{BuildingBase}\\\\DistanceToTheTopOfTheLightningRod=tan(38\°)*BuildingBase\\\\DistanceToTheTopOfTheLightningRod=tan(38\°)*500feet=390.64feet

Therefore, if we want to calculate the height of the lightning rod, we need to do the following:

Let "x" the distance to the top of the building and "y" the distance to the top of the lightning rod, so:

LightningRodHeight=y-x=390.64feet-363.27feet=27.37feet

Rounding to the nearest foot, we have:

LightningRodHeight=y-x=390.64feet-363.27feet=27.37feet=27.4feet

Hence, the answer is:

The height of the lightning rod is 27.4 feet.

Have a nice day!
