Absolute value is always positive because its talking about the real distance or steps to zero and even when you at a negative number it takes real steps to get back to zero.
Yes it's A cos that's the correct answer
I’m not sure what you’re options are but an equation in Y=mx+b form for this would be y= -3/2x + 5
M is always the slope
B is always the y intercept
Since Ryan is 5 feet tall, we will assume that the height of the cell-phone tower is x + 5.
Since the given is 54 degrees.
Tan 54degrees = x/80(feet)
x=80(tan54)
x=110
To finalize the answer, we will add up the height of the cell-phone tower to the answer.
110 + 5 = 115 feet
So the answer to the question is that the height of the cell-phone tower is 115 ft.
Answer for problem 1: slope = 2, y intercept = 3
Answer for problem 2: slope = 3/4, y intercept = -2
Explanation:
Both equations are in the form y = mx+b. This is known as slope intercept form. This is because we can read off the values of the slope and y intercept very quickly. We have y = 2x+3 match up with y = mx+b. The m is the slope and b is the y intercept. So m = 2 and b = 3 for this equation. A similar situation happens with the other equation as well. It might help to rewrite the second equation into y = (3/4)x + (-2).
