Answer:

7.8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The  shadow, the ground and the  distance between the top of the tree and end of the shadow form 2 right-angled triangles which are similar.

So corresponding sides are in the same ratio. Therefore:-

40 / 12 = 26/x   where x is the length of shadow cast by the smaller tree.

40x = 12*26

x = (12*26) / 40

= 7.8 feet

Find the slope intercept form of slope-2 which passes through (-5,1)
dusya [7]

Answer:

y=2x+11

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that the slope is 2 and the lines passes through the point (-5,1).

We can use the point-slope form. The point-slope form is:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Where m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is a point.

So, let's substitute 2 for m and (-5,1) for (x₁, y₁), respectively. Therefore:

y-(1)=2(x-(-5))

Simplify:

y-1=2(x+5)

Distribute the 2:

y-1=2x+10

Add 1 to both sides:

y=2x+11

So, the equation of our line is:

y=2x+11
