Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In a line with negative slope, as x increase, y decreases.
Answer:
See below in bold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the point-slope form of a straight line
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Here m = -5/9 , x1 = 9 and y1 = -3:, so
y - -3 = -5/9(x - 9)
y + 3 = -5/9x + 5
y = -5/9x + 2 is the equation parallel to the given line.
The line perpendicular to the given line will have a slope of - 1 / -5/9
= 9/5 so its equation is
y + 3 = 9/5(x - 9)
y = 9/5x - 81/5 - 3
y = 9/5x - 96/5 .

Answer: 24 feet (Choice D)</h3>
=============================================
Explanation:
Refer to the diagram below. The goal is to find x, which is the horizontal distance from the base of the tree to the swing set.
Focus on triangle BCD.
The angle B is roughly 30.26 degrees, and this is the angle of depression. This is the amount of degrees Emir must look down (when starting at the horizontal) to spot the swing set.
We know that he's 14 ft off the ground, which explains why AB = CD = 14.
The goal is to find BC = AD = x.
---------------------------
Again, keep your focus on triangle BCD.
We'll use the tangent ratio to say
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(B) = CD/BC
tan(30.26) = 14/x
x*tan(30.26) = 14
x = 14/tan(30.26)
x = 23.9965714046732
That value is approximate. Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.
That value rounds to 24 feet when rounding to the nearest whole foot.
The
4th selection is appropriate:
The first line is a dashed line which joins ordered pairs (-2, 1) and (3, 1). The second line is a dashed line and joins ordered pairs (-2, -2) and (3, 3). The portion common above the first line and above the second line is shaded
