Answer:

-5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is given by

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= ( -1 -4)/(5 - -2)

= (-1-4)/(5+2)

-5/7

Slope formula: y2-y1/x2-x1

= -1-4/5-(-2)

= -5/7

Best of Luck!

Which statement is true

loris [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

You must find the common denominator for all of them.

A is correct. 13 x 2 is 26 and 14 x 2 is 28. Therefore, 13/14 is greater than 25/28.

B is not correct. 4 x 5 is 20 and 9 x 5 is 45. 4/9 is actually less than 21/45.

C is not correct. 5 x 2 is 10 and 6 x 2 is 12. 5/6 is actually less than 11/12.

D is not correct. 4 x 5 is 20 and 5 x 5 is 25. 4/5 is actually less than 8/25.

Pat needs to determine the height of a tree before cutting it down to be sure that it will not fall on a nearby fence. The angle

dem82 [27]

Answer:

229.23 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pictorial representation of the problem is attached herewith.

Our goal is to determine the height, h of the tree in the right triangle given.

In Triangle BOH

$Tan 60^0=\dfrac{h}{x}\\h=xTan 60^0$

Similarly, In Triangle BOL

$Tan 50^0=\dfrac{h}{x+60}\\h=(x+60)Tan 50^0$

Equating the Value of h

$xTan 60^0=(x+60)Tan 50^0\\xTan 60^0=xTan 50^0+60Tan 50^0\\xTan 60^0-xTan 50^0=60Tan 50^0\\x(Tan 60^0-Tan 50^0)=60Tan 50^0\\x=\dfrac{60Tan 50^0}{Tan 60^0-Tan 50^0} ft$

Since we have found the value of x, we can now determine the height, h of the tree.

$h=\left(\dfrac{60Tan 50^0}{Tan 60^0-Tan 50^0}\right)\cdotTan 60^0\\h=229.23 feet$

The height of the tree is 229.23 feet.
