An electrical pole breaks at a height of 6m from its base due to a thunderstorm. Its top touches the ground at a distance of 8m

from the base of the pole to form a right angled triangle. Find the height of the pole.
m = metre

16m because if you use the pythagorean therum the rest of the pole is 10m long, which you add to the base of the pole.

Write an equation for the line that passes through (4,-6) and (-7,-6). Is the line parallel or perpendicular to the y-axis?

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

y = -6, perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the points to find the slope of the line:

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} =\frac{-6-(-6)}{-7-4} =\frac{-6+6}{-7-4}=\frac{0}{-11}=0$

Then, using point-slope form, choose one set of coordinates to use for y1 and x1:

$y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})$

$y-(-6)=0(x-4)$

$y+6=0$

$y=-6$

Since the slope of the line is zero, it's a horizontal line. The y-axis is a vertical line, which means that the line is perpendicular to the y-axis.

I need a lot of help, I’m really confused on what we are learning currently.

7m+2=7n−5

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

7n−5=7m+2

Add 5 to both sides.

7n=7m+2+5

Add 2 and 5 to get 7.

7n=7m+7

Divide both sides by 7.

7n

7

7m+7

Dividing by 7 undoes the multiplication by 7.

n=

7

7m+7

Divide 7+7m by 7.

n=m+1

I NEED HELP WITH NUMBER 4

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

4.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the height in inches of the model, you need to change the ration into a fraction:

$\frac{1}{50}$

Then try to figure out the value of the denominator in terms of the ratio:

$\frac{1}{50} =\frac{x}{725}$

In this equation we need to figure out how much the denominator of the fraction is changing by, by dividing 725 by 50. Then, multiply that by one:

$4.5$
