Step-by-step explanation:
sin 46°= a/12.8
a = sin46° * 12.8 = 9.20
cos59°=b/16.8
b = cos59°*16.8 = 8.65
keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, hmmm what's the slope of the equation above anyway?

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -3/2 and runs through (0,0).

Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the distance d using the distance formula
d = 
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (5, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 1, 1)
d = 
= 
= 
= 
= 3
← exact value
≈ 6.71 ( to 2 dec. places )
3 meters below sea level represents a -3
From -3 to 0 is 3
3 + 5 above sea level = 8 meters
There are 8 meters between the house and the school
100 = 40 + 3x
Subtract 40 from each side
60 = 3x
Divide each side by 3
20 = x
The highest price of a sweatshirt can be $20
100 = 40 + 3(20)
