Answer:
y = 2x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>(a) Slope </em>
The point-slope formula for a straight line is
y₂ - y₁ = m(x₂ - x₁)
The line goes through the points (-1, 0) and (0, 2).
2 – 0 = m[0 – (-1)]
2 = m
(b) y-intercept
y = mx + b
Use the point (0, 2)
2 = 2× 0+ b
2 = 0 + b
b = 2
∴ y = 2x + 2
Answer:
203 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Please find the attachment.
Let h represent the height of the building.
We have been given that at 3:30 in the afternoon in mid-September the Kimball Tower casts a shadow about 290 feet long when the sun's rays come down at an angle about 35 degrees above the horizontal.
We know that tangent relates opposite side of a right triangle to its adjacent side.
Upon substituting our given values in above formula, we will get:
Therefore, the building is approximately 203 feet high.
