Answer:
is the angle of elevation from the boat to the lighthouse.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the boat, the angle through which you will raise your head to see the light house is the angle of elevation, which is .
See graph for the illustration.
The correct answer is A
Rational im pretty sure from what i remember
You mean what is the slope of a line parallel to the line whose slope is -2?
The answer is -2... the slopes of parallel lines are equal
You want one of the values in the ratio to be one for a unit rate. First, write out the ratio. It is 70 miles/2 hours. It's better not to include decimal numbers when you write a ratio when you can, so we're going to make the hours the unit rate. To make 2 -> 1 hour, divide both sides of the ratio by 2. 70/2 = 35.
The unit rate is 35 mi./hr.
Hope that helped you.
Hey there!
I'll assume we're using the slope-intercept form equation:
y = mx + b
m = slope
b = y-intercept
First, we keep the y, because it's value depends on the x value given.
Next, we find the slope. Slope is defined as rise/run, so we take two points on the graph, find how much taller one is from another, and how far right/left they are, put those values over each other, and we have out slope (m).
Finally, we need to determine the y-intercept, and that's as simple as seeing where the line crosses the y axis and writing down that value.
Hope this helps!
