<u>Answer</u>


1.6 miles


<u>Explanation.</u>

Am trying to interpret this question and am finding that you want to find the vertical change in elevation which you are calling S.

Hoping my interpretation is correct, this is how you solve it.


You are going to use the trigonometric ratio, tangent.

TanФ = opposite/adjacent


tan 15° = S/6


S = 6×tan15°

= 6 × 0.267949192

= 1.607695155


Answer

S = 1.6 miles

Find the equation of the line that passes through points a and b
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

y - 7 = 2(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Going from (-3, -1) to (1, 7), x increases by 4 and y by 8.  These numbers are the 'run' and 'rise' of the line, respectively.  Thus, the slope of the red line is m = rise/run = m = 8/4 = 2.

Using the point-slope formula and the point (1, 7), we get:

y - 7 = 2(x - 1)
