Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 1
The point-slope formula for a straight line is
y – y₁ = m(x – x₁)
x₁ = 3; y₁ = -5; m = -4
Substitute the values
The diagram shows the graph of equation 1 (red) with slope -4 passing through (3,-5).
Question 2
x₁ = -1; y₁ = 8; m = 1
Substitute the values
The diagram shows the graph of equation 2 (green) with slope 1 passing through (-1,8).
SOLUTION
Let us use a simple diagram to interprete the question
In the diagram above, the dark stuff below represents the shadow and the rectangular bar represents the building. I have labelled the height of the building as h.
So we will use the right-angled triangle formed to find h
As we can see h represents the opposite side and 56.5 feet represents the adjacent side of the right-angle triangle. So we will use TOA
So we have
Hence the answer is 104.9 feet to the nearest tenth
