Answer:

The bird has to fly 7.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Please see diagram in attached image.

Notice that there is a right angle triangle that defines the situation, and you know two elements of such triangle;

1) one acute angle (15^o), and

2) the side opposite to that angle.

What you need to find is the side adjacent to the angle, which is what the bird needs to fly horizontally to be above the fish. We named that "x".

The trig function that relates such triangle elements is the tangent:

tan(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent} \\tan(15^o)=\frac{2\,m}{x} \\x=\frac{2\,m}{tan(15^o)} \\x=7.46 \,\,m

which rounded to the nearest tenth is: 7.5 m

1. Slope = rate of change
Shown on the graph, for 2016 there are 36 entries. For 2017, there are 40
Since it’s only one year
You can subtract 36 from 40
40 - 36 = 4
Solution: the slope is 4

2. Months increase the most, the lines which are steeper and going upward (since it’s increasing)
Solution: from 2015 to 2016
