Answer:
Length of the ramp = 18.6 feet (Approx.)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Horizontal distance (base distance) = 17 feet
Angle of elevation = 24°
Find:
Length of the ramp
Computation:
Cosθ = Length of base / Length of hypotenuse
Cos 24 = Horizontal distance (base distance) / Length of the ramp
Cos 24 = 17 / Length of the ramp
0.9135 = 17 / Length of the ramp
Length of the ramp = 17 / 0.9135
Length of the ramp = 18.6 feet (Approx.)
The answer forma this question is X=24/5
No. For fractions to be equal, both the numerators and denominators have to be proportional.
Since both denominators are 2, the denominators would have to be just 3 or just 4.
False, the Hexagon can be a regular polygon or it cannot be a regular polygon. There is not enough information given so therefor false.
N the slope-intercept form you use the slope of the line and the y-intercept to express the linear function.
y=mx+b
y=mx+b
Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Example
Graph the equation
y−2x=1
y−2x=1
rewrite in slope-intercept form
y=2x+1
y=2x+1
Identify the slope and the y-intercept
m = 2 and b = 1
Plot the point corresponding to the y-intercept, (0,1)
picture23
The m-value, the slope, tells us that for each step to the right on the x-axis we move 2 steps upwards on the y-axis (since m = 2)

And once you have your second point you can just draw a line through the two points and extend it in both directions.
picture25
You can check to see that the line you've drawn is the correct one by substituting the coordinates of the second point into the original equation. If the equation holds true than the second point is correct.
Our second point = (1, 3)
y−2x=1
y−2x=1
3−2⋅1=3−2=1
3−2⋅1=3−2=1
Our second point is a solution to the equation i.e. the line we drew is correct.
A line that passes through the origin has a y-intersect of zero, b = 0, and represents a direct variation.
y=mx
y=mx
In a direct variation the nonzero number m is called the constant of variation.
You can name a function, f by using the function notion
f(x)=mx+b
f(x)=mx+b
f(x) is another name for y and is read as "the value of f at x" or "f of x". You can use other letters than f to name functions.
A group of functions that have similar characteristics are called a family of functions. All functions that can be written on the form f(x) = mx + b belong to the family of linear functions.
The most basic function in a family of functions is called the parent function. The parent function of all linear functions is
f(x)=x
