Answer:
y = -3x
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope formula gives the slope of the segment between the given points.
m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)
m = (-3 -(-5))/(2 -(-4)) = 2/6 = 1/3
The slope of the perpendicular line is the opposite reciprocal of this, so is ...
m' = -1/(1/3) = -3
A perpendicular line is ...
y = -3x
We will use trigonometry:
tan 45° = 1500 / x
1 = 1500 / x
x = 1500 ft
tan 42° = 1500 / y
0.9 = 1500 / y
y = 1500 : 0.9
y = 1666.67 ft
L = y - x ( where L is the length of the runway )
L = 1666.67 - 1500 = 166.67 ft.
Answer:
3x - 2y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Find the slope
slope m = (y2 - y1)(/x2 - x1)
m = (4 - 1)/(3 - 1) = 3/2
Step 1: Use the formula y = mx + b to solve
This is slope-intercept form of a line. We have a slope of 3/2, and a point (x, y), which is (1, 1). Plug those values into the equation above and solve for b (the only variable we are missing
1 = (3/2)(1) + b
1 = 3/2 + b
1 - 3/2 = b
2/2 - 3/2 = b
-1/2 = b
Step 2: Rewrite the formula using the slope and the b value we just calculated
y = (3/2)x - 1/2
Step 3: Standard form of a line is ax + by = c, where a is a positive integer, so we rearrange the equation from step 2 to standard form.
y = (3/2)x - 1/2
-(3/2)x + y = -1/2 (subtract (3/2)x from both sides)
-3x + 2y = -1 (multiply by 2 to get rid of the fraction on x)
3x - 2y = 1 (multiply by -1 so a becomes positive)
