Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 4x - 3
this equation is put in slope intercept form
y = mx + b
where m = slope and b = y intercept.
we want to find the y intercept
-3 takes the spot of b therefore the y intercept is -3
Answer:
EG so that GF ≈ EF
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
Make up a proportion that relates the tree and its properties to the stick and its properties.
Givens
Stick height (s_h) = 4
Stick shadow(s_s) = 2
Tree shadow = t_s = 18
Tree height = x
Formula
s_h / s_s = x / t_s
Substitute and solve.
4/2 = x / 18 Cross multiply
4*18 = 2 * x
72 = 2x Divide by 2
72/2 = x
x = 36
The height of the tree is 36 feet.

Answers:
- angle1 = 156 degrees
- angle2 = 24 degrees
=======================================================
Explanation:
The two angles form a straight line, which is 180 degrees
Add up the angle expressions and set the sum equal to 180.
(angle1) + (angle2) = 180
(4x) + (x-15) = 180
(4x+x)-15 = 180
5x-15 = 180
5x = 180+15
5x = 195
x = 195/5
x = 39
We use that x value to find each missing angle
- angle1 = 4x = 4*39 = 156 degrees
- angle2 = x-15 = 39-15 = 24 degrees
Then notice how angle1+angle2 = 156+24 = 180 to verify the answer.
Side note: Angles that add to 180 are considered supplementary.
