The figure shows the exact form of the given information.
We are given angle of elevation 63° and hypotenuse ( length of kite) is 75m.
Now we are also given that Pippa is holding the kite 1.4m above the ground.
So referring to the figure, height of kite from ground = 1.4m + x
We have to find x now.
0.891 =x/75
x=0.891 * 75 = 66.825
Answer : height of kite is 1.4 + 66.825 that is 68.225 m.

Answer:
y + 3 = 10/11(x + 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the points (-3, -3) and (8, 7), we can use these coordinates to solve for the slope of the line using the formula:
Let (x1, y1) = (-3, -3)
(x2, y2) = (8, 7)
Substitute these values into the slope formula:
Thus, slope (m) = 10/11.
Next, using the slope (m) = 10/11, and one of the given points (-3, -3), we'll substitute these values into the point-slope form:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Let (x1, y1) = (-3, -3)
m = 10/11
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - (-3) = 10/11[x - (-3)]
Simplify:
y + 3 = 10/11(x + 3) this is the point-slope form.
