The slope perpendicular to the one given is the opposite reciprocal. So the slope of the "new" line will be -1/5. Using y = mx + b and filling in 3 for y, -10 for x and the slope, m, of -1/5 will help you solve for b. Then use that b to write the new equation. 3= -1/5(-10) + b and b = 1. Your equation, then, is y = -1/5x + 1
Answer:
10472. 4 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the height of the plane above the helicopter be "h"
We have a right triangle where the side opposite the 71 degree angle = h and the side adjacent to this angle = 3055
So we can use the tangent here
tan (71) = h / 3055 multiply both sides by 3055
3055 * tan (71) = h ≈ 8872.4 ft
So.......the total altitude of the plane is
1600 + 8872.4 =
10472. 4 ft
