Answer:

  40 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The post is 8/12 = 2/3 as tall as the shadow is long. We expect the same relationship holds for the tree.

  tree height = (2/3)(shadow length) = (2/3)(60 ft) = 40 ft

The tree is 40 feet tall.

what is the slope-intercept form for a line that has a slope of -4/5 and passes through points (0,7)?
drek231 [11]

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{7})~\hspace{10em} slope = m\implies -\cfrac{4}{5} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-7=-\cfrac{4}{5}(x-0) \\\\\\ y-7=-\cfrac{4}{5}x\implies y=-\cfrac{4}{5}x+7
