Answer - D.
you basically find the equation of the line first and eliminate the wrong answers...
Strategy: before u do any of this, label your coordinates as (X1,Y1) and (X2,Y2) and u can choose any of ur points to be as x1 or x2 or y1 or y1...
basically, I'll choose (6,7) as (x1,y1) and (2,-1) as (x2,y2). SO,
First you have to find the gradient (m) of the line.
you do this by using the formula m = Y2-Y1 / X2-X1 (where '/' is division sign) ....
Put the numbers in their respective places and your gradient will be 2x. we put the x after our number to represent it as a gradient as the straight line formula is y = mx+c and you've found the m.
NOW.
use the formula Y-Y1=m(x-x1) to find the equation of the line.Again u can use any Y1 and X1 here but remember your m is 2
replace the digits and solve...Hopefully you'll get sth like this if you use the points (6,7):
Y-7 = 2(x-6) ....
y=2x-12+7...
Y=2x-5! <<<< this is your straight line equation!
Now all u gotta do is rearrange all your options into y = mx+c.
D. is incorrect as it gives us y=2x+5 and not y = 2x-5 unlike the others
Hope you get it!
Given:
Height of Mountain A = 5210 feet
Distance of Mountain A from a helicopter above the peak = 1000 feet
Angle of depression:
Mountain B to helicopter = 43 degrees
Mountain B to Mountain A = 19 degrees
First, draw an illustration and label the enumerated given values.
Observe that there are two right triangles formed:
From the triangle formed by the helicopter and Mountain B,
let x = total height of mountain B
y = leg of first triangle (helicopter and mountain b)
h = hypotenuse
Use the Pythagorean Theorem:
cos (43) = y / h
From the second triangle formed by mountain b and a,
cos (19) = (1000 + y) / h
solve for h and y
then, solve for the height of Mountain B:
x = 1000 + y + 5210
