Answer:
m is -12/7 and b is -64/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Use rise over run (change in y / change in x) to find the slope, m:
(-4 - 8) / (-3 + 10)
= -12/7
So, m is -12/7.
Plug in this value and a point into y = mx + b, then solve for b:
y = mx + b
-4 = -12/7(-3) + b
-4 = 36/7 + b
-64/7 = b
So, m is -12/7 and b is -64/7
Answer:
1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a line is the steepness of a line.
The slope of a perpendicular line is always the negative reciprocal of the slope of the line it is perpendicular with.
Since line C has a slope of -4, the negative reciprocal of that is 1/4.
Reciprocals are two numbers that multiply together to get 1.
For example, -1/4*-4/1=1
Therefore the negative recipricol is 1/4

Determine the horizontal distance
The horizontal distance is the distance between the technician and the base of the pole.
Represent this with x.
The relationship between x, 175ft and 25 degrees is represented as:
--- i.e. tan formula
Multiply both sides by x
Make x the subject
--- approximated
<em>The distance is approximately 375.3ft</em>
Answer:
A.
(x - 3)(x - 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 – 6x + 9
What 2 numbers multiply to 9 and add to -6
-3*-3 =9
-3+-3 = -6
(x-3) (x-3)
