Answer:

he only answer that makes sense is 15 feet....

The larger right triangle has leg 20 feet by 15 feet, while the smaller has legs 8 and x

20/15 = 8/x

20x = 120

x = 6

so the man is 6 feet tall.

Therefore the pole is 15 feet

How do you the equation of the line that passes through point (-3,2) and is parallel to the line formed by the equation y = 4x +
hjlf

Answer:

y = 4x + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 4x + 7 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 4

• Parallel lines have equal slopes , then

y = 4x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute (- 3, 2 ) into the partial equation

2 = - 12 + c ⇒ c = 2 + 12 = 14

y = 4x + 14 ← equation of parallel line
