Answer: 12.0 ft/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>From the given question, we recall the following,</em>

<em>A basketball player shoots the ball with an initial velocity  = 17.1 ft/sec</em>

<em>With an angle of 45.6 degrees with the horizontal.</em>

<em>Now,</em>

<em>Let us find the initial horizontal component of the vector that represents the velocity of the ball.</em>

<em>cos θ = adjacent/hypotenuse </em>

<em>Cos 45.6 degrees = 17.1 ft/sec</em>

<em>Let find the value of x</em>

<em>x = 17.1 cos 45.6 degrees= 11.96</em>

<em>To the nearest tenth is now = 12.0 ft/sec</em>

The horizontal component is:

17.1cos45.6≈11.96 so

vx=12.0 ft/sec  (to nearest tenth ft/s)

What is the equation of a line written in point-slope form that passes through the point (2,-5) and is parallel to the line repr
balu736 [363]

Answer:

y=3/2x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line parallel to 3x-2y=-14 will be equivalent to the slope of this equation.

Rewrite the given equation in Slope/Intercept Form y=mx+b to get the slope m.

3x-2y=-14

2y=3x+14

divide both sides by 2 to solve for y.

y=(3x+14)/2

y=3/2x+7

slope m =3/2

Now that we have found the slope of our equation, we can put it into point-slope form : y-y1=m(x-x1) 2=x1 -5=y1

y--5=3/2(x-2)

y+5= 3/2x-3

subtract 5 from both sides to solve the equation for y

y=3/2x-8
