Answer:

8 (7.94)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can think of it as a geometry problem.

What is formed here is a triangle, which sides ate: the line, the line's shadow, and the height from the ground to the kite (here I attach a drawing).

What you need to find is the height. We will call it H.

As the triangle formed is a right one, we can use Pitágoras' theorem. The height H squared plus the squared of the shadow is equal to the squared of the line (the hypotenuse). This is:

H^2 + 9^2 = 12^2

H^2 + 81= 144

H^2 = 63

Applying squared root in both sides

H = √63

H = 7,94

So, the height is approximately 8.

Write the equation of the line, given the y and x-intercepts.
Dimas [21]

Answer:

y = -(2/3)m - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

recall that the general equation of a straight line in slope-intercept form is

y = mx + b

where, m is the slope and b is the y - intercept

here we are given that the y - intercept is -2, hence the equation becomes:

y = mx + (-2)

or

y = mx -2

we are also given that the x-intercept is -3, which means that when y = 0, x = -3 (simply substitute this into our new equation to solve for m)

0 = m(-3) -2

0 = -3m - 2  (add 3m to both sides)

3m = -2  (divide both sides by 3)

m = -(2/3)

hence our equation is now

y = -(2/3)m - 2
