Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

(-4,2) = (x1,y1)

(-16,-6) = (x2,y2)

Slope = $\frac{-6-2}{-16+4}$

= $\frac{-8}{-12}$

= $\frac{2}{3}$

A UFO is coming in to pick up some test subjects. Their elevation above the ground is 60,000 feet. Their laser sights tell them

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

41.83°

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that :

The vertical distance of the UFO from the ground = 60,000 feet

The diagonal distance of the landing area to the UFO = 90,000 feet

In order to find the angle of depression, we have to use the trigonometric ratios, i.e.,

$\sin \ \theta = \frac{\text{perpendicular distance}}{\text{hypotenus}}$

$\sin \ \theta = \frac{60,000}{90,000}$

$\sin \ \theta = \frac{2}{3}$

$\sin \ \theta = 0.667$

∴ $\theta = \sin^{-1 }(0.667)$

= 41.83°
