Answer:

⁵/₃

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are at the foot of the guy wire, the wire is going <em>up</em>.

Slope = Δy/Δx = 25/15 = ⁵/₃

If you are at the top of the pole, the wire is going <em>down</em>.

Slope = Δy/Δx = -25/15 = -⁵/₃

Answer:

y = 120x

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx + b is what we need where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

the train travels at about 120km/hour, thus the slope is 120.

y= 120x +b. to find the y intercept plug in any coordinate.

240 = 120(2) +b. you find that the y-intercept is 0.

final equation: y= 120x
