Answer:
y = -2x + 9
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -2x + 7
(4, 1)
1 = -2 ( 4 ) + b
1 = -8 + b
b = 9
y = -2x + 9
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the sun's angle of elevation.
We have been given that a 6-foot tall man casts a shadow that is 12 feet long.
Upon looking at our attachment we can see that man and his shadow forma a right triangle with respect to ground, where height of man is opposite side and his shadow is adjacent side.
Since tangent relates opposite side of a right triangle with adjacent, so we can set an equation as:



Using arctan we will get,


Therefore, the measure of the sun's angle of elevation is 27 degrees.
The quotient of negative 72 and negative 6 is equal to 12.
