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 )

Here m = - 2, thus

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

To find c substitute (9, - 5) into the partial equation

- 5 = - 18 + c ⇒ c = - 5 + 18 = 13

y = - 2x + 13 ← equation in slope- intercept form

Answer:

The height of the bullding is 717 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Right Triangles

The trigonometric ratios (sine, cosine, tangent, etc.) are defined as relations between the triangle's side lengths.

The tangent ratio for an internal angle A is:

$\displaystyle \tan A=\frac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{adjacent leg}}$

The image below shows the situation where Ms. M wanted to estimate the height of the Republic Plaza building in downtown Denver.

The angle A is given by his phone's app as A= 82° and the distance from her location and the building is 100 ft. The angle formed by the building and the ground is 90°, thus the tangent ratio must be satisfied. The distance h is the opposite leg to angle A and 100 ft is the adjacent leg, thus:

$\displaystyle \tan 82^\circ=\frac{h}{100}$
