Given:
angle of 6 : i'm assuming this is 6 degrees.
distance of 5 miles.

tan(6) = rise/5 mi
rise = 5 mi * tan(6)
rise = 5 mi * 0.10510423526
rise = 0.52552117632

rise = 0.53 miles.

There is a line that includes the point (4, 1) and has a slope of 1/4. what is its equation in
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

y=1/4x

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b

m=1/4

so, y=1/4x+b

Now, look at our line's equation so far: . b is what we want, the 1/4 is already set and x and y are just two "free variables" sitting there. We can plug anything we want in for x and y here, but we want the equation for the line that specfically passes through the the point (4,1).

So, why not plug in for x the number 4 and for y the number 1? This will allow us to solve for b for the particular line that passes through the point you gave!.

(4,1). y=mx+b or 1=1/4 × 4+b, or solving for b: b=1-(1/4)(4). b=0.

y=1/4x+0

The ratio of chocolate chip cookies, snickerdoodles and oatmeal raisin cookies was 2:5:7. During the class party 12 chocolate ch
Schach [20]

Answer: 127 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If you look back to the text you will see that 12 is 1 in 1:3:4 and you multiply that by 2. 12 * 2 = 24.

2. Divide 24 by 3 and that gives you 8 than times it by 5 for it to give you 40

3. Divide 36 by 4 and that equals to 9 than multiply it by 7 which that gives you 63

4. Add 24, 40, and 63 for it to give you 127

Thank you for following these steps if it is correct and this is my first time so if I am incorrect I will look upon my mistake and correct and help many of you people who need help
