Answer:

y = -3/2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Use point slope form to find the equation

(y - y1) = m(x - x1)

(y - (-7)) = -3/2(x - 6)

y + 7 - 7 = -3/2x + 9 - 7

y = -3/2x + 2

Answer: y = -3/2x + 2

An airplane pilot can see the top of a traffic control tower at a 20 degree angle of depression. the airplane is 5,000 feet away

daser333 [38]

The given question describes a right triangle with with one of the angles as 20 degrees and the side adjacent to the angle 20 degrees is of length 5,000 feet. We are looking for the length of the side opposite the angle 20 degrees.

Let the required length be x, then

$\tan{20^o}=\cfrac{opp}{hyp}=\cfrac{x}{5,000}\\ \\ \Rightarrow x=5,000\tan{20^o}=1,819.85$

Therefore, the height of the airplane above the tower is 1,819.85 feet.

Mason says that (12x + 4) - (-3x + 5) and 15x - 1 are equivalent. Is he correct? Explain

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

12x minus -3x is the same as adding two positives. That gives us 15x. 4 - 5 is -1. Putting the two simplified parts of the expression together, we get 15x - 1. Mason is correct.
