Answer:

36 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the height of the building,

Given,

Length of the building's shadow = 24 ft,

Height of the person = 6 feet,

Length of person's shadow = 4 feet.

Since, at the same time,

\frac{\text{Height of the building}}{\text{Length of building's shadow}}=\frac{\text{Height of the person}}{\text{Length of person's shadow}}

\frac{x}{24}=\frac{6}{4}

4x=144   ( By cross multiplication )

\implies x = 36

Hence, the height of the building is 36 ft.

Answer:

  C:  y+7=2/5(x+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation of a line with slope m through point (h, k) is ...

  y -k = m(x -h)

You are given m=2/5 and (h, k) = (-4, -7). Put these numbers into the form and simplify the signs:

  y -(-7) = 2/5(x -(-4)) . . . . . numbers put into the form

  y +7 = 2/5(x +4) . . . . . . . signs simplified . . . . matches choice C
