Answer:

a = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that a point uses (x , y).

y = 1

x = a

Plug in 1 for y in the equation, and a for x:

y = 3x - 5

1 = 3a - 5

Isolate the variable, a. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First add 5 to both sides:

1 (+5) = 3a - 5 (+5)

1 + 5 = 3a

6 = 3a

Next, divide 3 from both sides:

(6)/3 = (3a)/3

a = 6/3

a = 2

2 is your value for a.

Answer:

The point slope form is $y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1} )$

The slope(m) can be calculated using $\frac{y-y_{1} }{x-x_{1}}$ :

$(x, y)=(4,-3)\\(x_{1} ,y_{1} )=(5,0)\\\\\frac{0-(-3)}{5-4} =\frac{0+3}{1} =\frac{3}{1} =3$

Using Point One, the point-slope form is determined as:

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

The y-intercept(b) can be calculated as:

$(5,0)\\y=3x+b\\0=3(5)+b\\0=15+b\\b=-15\\(0,-15)$

Brut [27]

I think it must be the right triangle so
x=height of the antenna
tan(66)=x/50
x=50*tan(66)
x=1.33 ft
->the height of the antenna = 1.33 ft
hope it is the correct answer because you didn't provided me enough information.
