Answer:

4.09 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the shadow cast by a person be x m.

$\tan \: 24 \degree = \frac{height \: of \: person}{length \: of \: the \: shadow} \\ \\ 0.4452286853 = \frac{1.82}{x} \\ \\ x = \frac{1.82}{0.4452286853} \\ \\ x = 4.08778693 \: m \\ x = 4.09 \: m$

jonny [76]

Answer:

$- \frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

How do we find the line that's perpendicular to another?

We find the negative reciprocal. So for example if our slope is 2, the negative reciprocal would be $- \frac{1}{2}$ .

Convert the following equations from point-slope form to slope-intercept form.

mojhsa [17]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

We need to solve both for y.

#9:

$y - 4 = 3(x - 1)\\\\y - 4 = 3x - 3\\\\y = 3x + 1$

#10:

$y - 1 = -4[x - (-3)]\\\\y - 1 = -4(x + 3)\\\\y - 1 = -4x - 12\\\\y = -4x - 11$
