Answer:

y = 29/4

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

3/(y - 5) = 15/(y + 4)

<u>To find the value of y</u>

we have,

3/(y - 5) = 15/(y + 4)

3(y + 4) = 15(y - 5)

(y + 4) = 5(y - 5) [dividing both sides by 3]

y + 4 = 5y - 25

5y - 25 = y + 4

5y - y = 4 + 25

4y = 29

y = 29/4

Therefore the value of y = 29/4

Slope is rise/run
so, you go up 4 times and run across 3 times, this is a positive slope, so the slope is
slope: 4/3
the y-intercept is the line that passes the y-axis, (0, -5),
y-intercept: -5

put it together
4/3x-5

In ΔUVW, the measure of ∠W=90°, VW = 32 feet, and WU = 78 feet. Find the measure of ∠V to the nearest degree.

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer: $67.68^{\circ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\angle W=90^{\circ}$

$VW=32\ ft$

$WU=78\ ft$

from the figure, we can write

$\Rightarrow \tan v=\dfrac{UW}{VW}\\\\\Rightarrow \tan v=\dfrac{78}{32}\\\\\Rightarrow \tan v=2.437\\\Rightarrow v=\tan^-1(2.437)\\\Rightarrow v=67.68^{\circ}$
