Step-by-step explanation:
<span>Helena is correct in saying that the point-slope form
will generate the equation. The point-slope form is written as:</span>
<span>
</span>
y-y₁ = m(x-x₁), where,
m = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) is the slope of the line
(x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) are the coordinates of the two points
On the other hand, the slope-intercept form is written as:
y = mx + b, where,
m is the slope of the line
b is the y-intercept
In this case, since only two points were given, the y-intercept of the line is not readily known. Thus, it is only through the point-slope form that the equation of the line can be determined. This is because it only requires the substitution of the x and y-coordinates of the points in the equation.
Gross pay = $2,759.00
Total deductions = 7.65%+12%+7% = 26.65% = 0.2665
By thumb rule, rent and other fixed expenses ≤ 28% of Monthly gross salary
Therefore,
Allowed housing and fixed expenses = 0.28*2,759 = $772.52
Then, a. is the correct answer.
The firts thig we are going to do is create tow triangles using the angles of elevation of Paul and Jose. Since the problem is not giving us their height we'll assume that the horizontal line of sight of both of them coincide with the base of the tree.
We know that Paul is 19m from the base of the tree and its elevation angle to the top of the tree is 59°. We also know that the elevation angle of Jose and the top of the tree is 43°, but we don't know the distance between Paul of Jose, so lets label that distance as

.
Now we can build a right triangle between Paul and the tree and another one between Jose and the tree as shown in the figure. Lets use cosine to find h in Paul's trianlge:



Now we can use the law of sines to find the distance

between Paul and Jose:



Now that we know the distance between Paul and Jose, the only thing left is add that distance to the distance from Paul and the base of the tree:

We can conclude that Jose is 33.9m from the base of the tree.
