Answer: 59^{\circ}


Step-by-step explanation:

Consider that ladder is making a right triangle with the burning building.

Let x be the angle of elevation of his ladder.

Then \Rightarrow\tan\ x=\frac{\text{height of building reached by ladder}}{\text{distance between ladder and building}}\\\\\Rightarrow\tan\ x=\frac{50}{30}=1.67\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\tan^{-1}(1.67)\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=59.03^{\circ}\approx59^{\circ}

Thus, the angle of elevation of his ladder is 59^{\circ}

How do you find the slope using a graph
kicyunya [14]
The y intercept is seven so you would start by placing a point on (0,7). Then you count Down four points because the slope is a negative number and then count nine points to the right. You would have to keep counting down four points and the right nine points until your line was long enough.
