Answer:
C)
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that one of the lines is simply y=-1 for any x, so we can dismiss the only answer without y=-1. That rejected answer is A)
Now let's notice, that the other line is decreasing y when increasing x. That tells us that in the equation y = ax + b, a has to be negative. This brings us to reject option D).
What is the y of that line for x = 0? Because y = ax + b, for x = 0 we will get the value of b. This is called the intercept. The line is at y=4 for x=0, so we know that the b in the equation must be positive 4. This fits answer C, but rejects answer B). And so, we have found that C) is the only possible answer.
No unit fractions are shown. (Sometimes editing is required when you copy and paste your question text.)
Selections B and D have 1 as their first digit. We suspect those are supposed to be the unit fractions 1/8 and 1/3, respectively.
Answer:
3(x + 4) = 3(x) + 3(4)
3(x + 4) = 3x + 12
3x + 12 = 3x + 12
Subtract 12 from both sides
3x + 12 - 12 = 3x + 12 - 12
3x = 3x
3x - 3x = 3x - 3x
= 0
The ladder will reach 122 ft up the building.
The 120 feet of the extended ladder, since it will be leaning against the building, will be the hypotenuse of the right triangle. x will be the height from the top of the fire truck to the point where the ladder hits the building. 75° is the angle the ladder will make with the fire truck.
We have an angle, the side opposite the angle, and the hypotenuse. Opposite/hypotenuse is the ratio for sine, so we set up our equation as such:
x/120 = sin 75
Multiply both sides by 120:
120(x/120) = 120*sin 75
x = 120*sin 75
x ≈116
However, this is just from the top of the fire truck to the point where the ladder hits the building. We still add the 6 feet from the top of the truck to the ground. 116+6 = 122.
