Answer:
x = 21
y = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other, so each half of a diagonal is congruent to the other half.
x -2 = 19
x = 21 . . . . add 2
__
y +1 = 26
y = 25 . . . . subtract 1
See the attached picture to better understand the problem
we know that
in the right triangle ABC
cos 70=adjacent side angle 70/hypotenuse
adjacent side angle 70=BC----> <span>distance between the ladder and the tree trunk
hypotenuse=AC------> 15 ft
cos 70=BC/AC-------> solve for BC
BC=AC*cos 70------> BC=15*cos 70-----> BC=5.13 ft
the answer isthe </span>
distance between the ladder and the tree is 5.13 ft<span>

Answer:
y =
x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Here m =
, thus
y =
x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (3, - 1) into the partial equation
- 1 = 2 + c ⇒ c = - 1 - 2 = - 3
y =
x - 3 ← equation of line
