PLEASE HELP...

Mathematics
1 answer:
Katena32 [7]3 years ago

Answer:

26.2655 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever possible, draw a diagram.  I've attached a picture of the balloon and the lines of depression (not drawn to scale, of course).

As you can see, the angles of depression form alternate interior angles with the ground (angles of elevation).  So these angles are also 13° and 39°.

We can use the tangents of these angles to find the base lengths of the two triangles that are formed.

tan 13° = 4 / a

a = 4 / tan 13°

tan 39° = 4 / b

b = 4 / tan 39°

So the total distance is:

a + b

= 4 / tan 13° + 4 / tan 39°

≈ 22.2655

find the equation of a line that passes through the points (3,7) and (5,3). Leave your answer in the form y=mx+c​
guapka [62]

Answer:

y = - 2x + 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, 7) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, 3)

m = \frac{3-7}{5-3} = \frac{-4}{2} = - 2, thus

y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (3, 7), then

7 = - 6 + c ⇒ c = 7 + 6 = 13

y = - 2x + 13 ← equation of line

What is the slope of the line ? ( question 1/4 )
yanalaym [24]

\huge \rm༆ Answer ༄

First Consider two points ~ (0 , -3) and (-1 , 0)

Now, use the given formula to calculate slope :

  • \sf \dfrac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

  • \sf \dfrac{0 - ( - 3)}{ - 1 - 0}

  • \sf \dfrac{ 0 + 3 }{ - 1}

  • \sf \dfrac{3}{ - 1}

  • \sf - 3

Therefore, the slope of the graph is -3
