<span>Find the equation of the line that passes through the points (3,-2) and (4,5).</span>
5-(-2)=7/ 4-3=1
So the slope is 7. Now plugin 7 for "m" and use one of the two points for x and y
5=7(4)*b
5=28*b
5-28=b
-23=b
So y=7x-23
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
let (-4,0) be (x1,y1) and (-5,3) be (x2,y2)
slop formula = <u>y2-y1</u>
x2-x1
=(3-0)+(-5-(-4))
=3+(-5+4)
=3+(-1)
=3-1
=2
If you are trying to figure out the distance between the top of the tree and the end of the shadow, use a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the legs of the right triangle.
5^2 + 4^2 = c^2
25 + 16 = c^2
41 = c^2
c = √41 = 6.4 meters
Use trigonometry to solve for x.
The tangent function is defined to be opposite side divided by the adjacent side.
tan(78) = x/10
tan(78)(10) = x
47.0463010948 = x
We now round off to two decimal places. In other words, we round off to the nearest tenths.
47.05 = x
Done!
