Answer: a) Yes
b) No
Explanation: Substitute the values of X and Y from the given points into the equation. I’ll use a) as an example:
Given point: (1,-3)
Equation: 4x-2y=10
Value of X: 1
Value of Y: -3
Substitute X and Y: 4(1)-2(-3)=10
4-(-6)=10
4+6=10 ✔︎
Therefore, the given ordered pair is a proper solution to the equation 4x-2y=10.
*You can use the same method for question b).*
Using the slope concept, it is found that the balloon's vertical distance above the ground is of 437.4 feet.
<h3>What is a slope?</h3>
The slope is given by the <u>vertical change divided by the horizontal change</u>, and it's also the tangent of the angle of depression.
In this problem:
- The vertical change is x.
- The horizontal change is of 602 ft.
Hence, applying the concept:
tan (36º) = x/602
x = 602 x tan(36º)
x = 437.4.

#SPJ1
X is 10
I have shown the calculation in the attachment.
X+6 is the correct answer
8 and 2/3 because each whole can be split to 3/3 :)
