Step-by-step explanation:
The shadow of the post is 12 feet long. The shadow of the flagpole is 96 feet long.
The shadow of the flagpole is 8 times longer than the shadow of the post.
8 x 8 = 64
Hi there!
The linear equation would be y = 3x + 11. This is because the slope is 3, found by using the formula (y2-y1 / x2-x1). Then, we can plug in the slope and a point into y=mx+b form. Next, we can plug in 0 for x and 0 for y to figure out if the line goes through the point (0,0). Doing this, we discover that the line does not go through the point (0,0).
Hope this helps!! :)

A Google or Bing search box can be your friend, if you don't have a calculator with inverse trig functions. Most calculators that have trig functions also have the inverse functions, usually after a 2nd or "shift" key. Often, there is a mode setting for degrees or radians.
