Answer:
≈ 397 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' identity on the right triangle
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides.
Let h represent the height of the balloon above ground, then
h² + 50² = 400², that is
h² + 2500 = 160000 ( subtract 2500 from both sides )
h² = 157500 ( take the square root of both sides )
h ≈ 397 m ( to the nearest metre )
The unknown factor is the divide sign
Answer: m = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope (m) = y2 - y1/,x2 - x1 : meaning increase in y divided by increase in x . it can also be written as ∆y/∆x
y1= 1, y2 = 1, x1 = 7, x2 = -2
Substitute for those values in the equation above
m = 1 -1/-2 - 7
= 0/-9
Therefore,
m = 0
The slope of the line passing through those coordinates = 0
