Answer:

<u>-7</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Use slope equation m=y2-y1/x2-x1 aka m=rise/run.

Insert in the correct values.

-1-(-3)=2=run

-8-6=-14=rise

SO, -14/2=m

Simplify:-14/2=-7

The slope formula is y2-y1 divided by x2- x1 so -8-6=-14 and -1+3=2
-14/2 =-7

A statue is mounted on top of a 16 foot hill. From the base of the hill to where you are standing is 77 feet and the statue subt

DanielleElmas [232]

Consider right triangle with vertices B - base of the hill, S - top of the statue and Y - you. In this triangle angle B is right and angle Y is 13.2°. If h is a height of the statue, then the legs YB and BS have lengths 77 ft and 16+h ft.

You have lengths of two legs and measure of one acute angle, then you can use tangent to find h:

$\tan 13.2^{\circ}=\dfrac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{adjacent leg}} =\dfrac{16+h}{77}, \\ \\ 0.2345=\dfrac{16+h}{77},\\ \\ 16+h=0.2345\cdot 77=18.0565,\\ h=18.0565-16=2.0565$ ft.
