Answer:
equation of a line:
y = mx+c
1) find the gradient, m
2) find y-intercept, c using coordinate (1,-4)
y = mx + c
-4 = 0(1) + c
c = -4
the equation of line:
y = mx+c
y = 0(x) + c
y = c
y = -4
Answer:
The angle must be at 3.81°
Step-by-step explanation:
The horizontal distance of the shooting range is 60 yards
The height of the target is 12ft.
We'll have to convert the value of the height from ft to yards.
1 yards = 3 foot
X yards = 12ft
X = 4yards.
The height of the target is 4 yards.
Now, to find the angle at which the shooter makes with the zenith of the target(height), we'll have to use use SOHCAHTOA
To know which of the rules we'll follow, a pictorial illustration of the values will help
(See attached document for better illustration).
From the diagram, we can see we have values at both opposite and adjacent.
Opposite = 4
Adjacent = 60
Hence we can use Tanθ = opposite/ adjacent
Tanθ = 4 / 60
Tanθ = 0.067
θ = Tan⁻0.067
θ = 3.81°
The angle at which the rifle must be set to hit the target is 3.81°
