Step-by-step explanation:

First, sub in the ordered pair to find y int

(7) = -1(-2) + b

7 = 2 + b

b = 5

So the equation in y int form is

y = -1x + 5

This when convert to stardard form is

x + y = 5

Point Slope Formula: y-y₁=m(x-x₁)
Linear Standard Form: Ax+By=C
Slope Intercept: y=mx+b

(20 pts!) if the base of the roof has length 40 feet and x=30, which of the following gives the height of the roof?

musickatia [10]

Answer:

23.094 ft approximately

(If you want your answer in a different format, let me know please.)

Step-by-step explanation:

I would have solve this using tangent since the side opposite to x is asked for and the adjacent side to side is given as having a measurement of 40 ft.

But I think they want you to use the formula:

$l=\frac{b}{\cos(x)}$ .

$l=\frac{40}{\cos(30)}$

Input into calculator:

$l=46.188$ (approximation)

l represents the length of the roof.

So we have l=46.188 and b=40.

We must use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the height,h, for of the roof.

l is the hypotenuse.

$h^2+40^2=46.188^2$

$h^2+1600=2133.331$

Subtract 1600 on both sides:

$h^2=533.331$

Take square root of both sides:

$h=23.094$

The answer is 23.094 feet for the height that roof reaches on the building.

I want to show you another way:

$\tan(x)=\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}$

$\tan(30)=\frac{h}{40}$

Multiply both sides by 40:

$40\tan(30)=h$

Input into calculator:

$23.094=h$

I didn't do it this way because your problem suggested you use their formula to find the height.
