Answer:

  • 16.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the angle is x

Imagine the right triangle with the angle x, with side opposite to angle x 15 ft and the adjacent side is 50 ft.

<u>Use trigonometry:</u>

  • tangent = opposite / adjacent
  • tan x = 15/50
  • tan x = 0.3
  • x = arctan 0.3
  • x = 16.7° (rounded)

1. Solve for the x and y intercepts:
aleksandrvk [35]
To find the x-intercept, you simply make y equal to 0 and solve the equation for x. To find the y-intercept, you make x equal to 0 and solve for y. So, for number 1, the answer is D because when you set it to y equals 0, you get x=3 and when you set it to x equals 0, you get 4. 
Number 2 we would do the same thing and get D as well.
Hope this helps!

Two trains leave stations 288 miles apart at the same time and travel towards each other. One train travels at 95 miles per hour
erma4kov [3.2K]
95x=85x+288
You could add 288 to any side, it just shows that they're 288 miles apart.
Let's subtract 85x from both sides.
10x=288
28.8=x
It'll take 28.8 hours for the trains to meet. Let's make sure.
28.8×95
2,736
28.8×85
2,448
2,736-2,448
288
So, they'll meet up after 28.8 miles.
