Looking at the data it looks like a line. So the answer will be in y+mx+b format.
Knowing it is a line eliminates answers b and c.
looking at options a is says it starts at about .1 when x is zero. We can see this looks pretty close as the left-most dot is below 1 already.
The slope on a is 1/2--> increasing 1 vertically for every 2 horizontally. The pattern mostly follows that rule.
Therefore a (y=1/2x+.1) would be the correct answer
I would add them together to get 73
Step-wise I would add the ones column together to get 13, carry the one over then add the tens up to get 70 - your answer is 73
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
ignore the "at the instant the man is 30 feet away" part, set it as X and the man's shadow as Y.
Similar triangles so we can do 
.
Solve for it we get 44y = 6x
Differentiate relative to time t, we get 44y' = 6x'.
change in x (x') is equal to 5. And we get the answer y' = 
.
the ft/sec is the rate of which the length of the shadow is changing. add 5 to it for the rate of the tip of his shadow moving away from the tower.
What value (number) is the tens place?
