Step 1.

Calculate measure of angle α:

47^o-38^o=9^o

Step 2.

Calculate what fraction of the angle 360° ​​is the angle α:

\dfrac{9^o}{360^o}=\dfrac{1}{40}

Step 3.

Calculate the circumference of the Earth (circle):

C=2\pi r\to C=2\pi\cdot4000=8000\pi\ mi

Step 4.

The length of arc is equal 1/40 of the circumference:

\dfrac{1}{40}C=\dfrac{1}{40}\cdot8000\pi=200\pi\ mi

\pi\approx3.14\to\dfrac{1}{40}C\approx200\cdot3.14=628\ mi


<h3>Answer: A) 628 miles</h3>

Find the equation of the line passing through points (-4,2) and (1,-6)
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

y + 6 = (-8/5)(x - 1) in point-slope form

Step-by-step explanation:

Moving from the 1st point to the first, we see that x (the 'run') increases by 5 from -4 to 1, and y (the 'rise') decreases by 8.  Thus, the slope of the line through these two points is m = rise / run = -8/5

Now we have two points on the line, plus the slope.  Let's write out the point-slope formula for the equation of a straight line:

y - k = m(x - h), where (h, k) is a point on the line and m is the slope of the line.

Here, using the point (1, -6), we obtain:

y + 6 = (-8/5)(x - 1) in point-slope form
