50 percent because 10 cars would be 100 percent so 5 cars would be 50 percent you just have to find the half

If a ship's path is mapped on a coordinate grid, it follows a straight-line path of slope 3 and passes through point (2, 5).

Ugo [173]

Part A: The equation of the ship's path is $y=3x-1$

Part B: The two ships sails perpendicular to each other.

Explanation:

Part A: It is given that $m=3$ and point (2, 5)

Substituting these in the slope intercept form, we have,

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

$\begin{aligned}y-5 &=3(x-2) \\y-5 &=3 x-6 \\y &=3 x-1\end{aligned}$

Thus, the equation of the ship's path in slope intercept form is $y=3x-1$

Part B: The equation of the second ship is $x+3 y-6=0$

Let us bring the equation in the form of slope intercept form.

$\begin{aligned}3 y &=-x+6 \\y &=-\frac{1}{3} x+2\end{aligned}$

Thus, from the above equation the slope is $m=-\frac{1}{3}$

To determine the two ships sailing perpendicular to each other, we have

$m_{1} \times m_{2}=-1$

where $m_{1}=3$ and $m_{2}=-\frac{1}{3}$

$\begin{aligned}3 \times-\frac{1}{3} &=-1 \\-1 &=-1\end{aligned}$

Since, both sides of the equation are equal, these two ships sails perpendicular to each other.

Jill is standing at the base of her apartment building. She measures the angle of elevation to the top of a nearby tower to be 4

Greeley [361]

Let the distance of Jill form the base of the tower be x, then tan 40 = 100/x
x = 100/tan 40 = 100/0.8391 = 119.18 meters

Let the height of the tower from the level of the top of Jill's apartment be y, then tan 30 = y/119.18
y = 119.18 x tan 30 = 68.8 meters

Therefore, the height of Jill's apartment is 100 - 68.8 = 31.2 meters
