The equation is y = 2x - 12
<h2>Explanation</h2>Equation in slope intercept form is
Where,
m = slope
b = y-intercept
Putting the value of slope in this equation:
From this we can solve the equation for b
Now, the equation of y-intercept becomes
Answer:
x = 3, y = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
In the figure attached,
If ΔADE and ΔABC are similar triangles, their corresponding sides will be in the same ratio.
By this property,
3x = 2x + 3
3x - 2x = 3
x = 3
Similarly,
y =
y = 6
Answer: the height of the pole is 16.1 m.
Step-by-step explanation:
The scenario is illustrated in the attached photo.
x represents the height of the pole.
y represents the distance from the foot of one stabilizing wire to the foot of the pole.
30 - y represents the distance from the foot of the other stabilizing wire to the foot of the pole.
In solving the triangles, we would apply the tangent trigonometric ratio which is expressed as
Tan θ, = opposite side/adjacent side.
Considering triangle ACD,
Tan 60 = x/y
x = ytan60 = y × 1.732
x = 1.732y- - - - - - - - -1
Considering triangle BCD,
Tan 38 = x/(30 - y)
x = (30 - y)tan38 = 0.781(30 - y)
x = 23.43 - 0.781y- - - - - - - - -2
Substituting equation 1 into equation 2, it becomes
1.732y = 23.43 - 0.781y
1.732y + 0.781y = 23.43
2.513y = 23.43
y = 23.43/2.513
y = 9.3
x = 1.732y = 1.732 × 9.3
x = 16.1 m
