Y-intercept looks like -1.5 and slope is -1/4
Answer:
what is the question if you can talk to me in the messages in this answer
This is the concept of trigonometry, we are required to calculate the number of floors the building has given the information above;
# floors=[height of the building]/[height of each floor]
height of each floor=17 ft
let the height of the building be,h.
h is given by;
tan theta=opposite/adjacent
theta=80
opposite=h
adjacent=75 ft
thus
tan 80=h/75
h=75 tan 80
h=425.35 ft
thus the number of floors will be:
425.35/17
=25.020≈25 floors
To solve this system of linear equations we need a little trick called elimination steps are below
we are given the following system of equations


if you look at the x variables in both equations you can see that we can easily eliminate them by multiplying the bottom equation by -4 as so


simplify and we get


now we can combine like terms on each side with the x's cancelling and get

now divide off -35

great now we can go back to our original system and pick a equation and substitute y back in to find x lets use

so now we substitute y and get




now we put x and y into one coordinate (x,y)
so now our FINAL ANSWER IS
(-17,-1)
