Answer:

the top of the ladder is 27.5ft above the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder makes an angle, θ with the ground thus forming a right angle triangle with the wall of the house.

The length of the ladder represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.

The ground distance from the base of the wall to the foot of the ladder represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

Therefore, to determine how high up is the top of the ladder on the wall, x, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

28² = x² + 5²

784 = x² + 25

x² = 784 - 25 = 759

x = √759 = 27.5ft

The table shows a linear function. Which equation represents the function?
4vir4ik [10]

Question is not complete and so I have attached the complete question.

Answer:

C: f(x) = -½x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using slope formula between 2 points, we know that;

slope; m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Let's consider 2 points from the table;

(0, 4) and (-4, 6)

Thus;

m = (6 - 4)/(-4 - 0)

m = 2/-4

m = -½

Now using slope intercept form equation which is y - y1 = m(x - x1), we can find the equation of the function by picking on point say (0, 4).

Thus;

y - 4 = -½(x - 0)

y - 4 = -½x

y = -½x + 4

Thus;

f(x) = -½x + 4
