Answer:

the hawk has flow 824.62 meters southwest of the mountain peak.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the distance we need to use the Pythagoras theorem

d^2 = 800^2 + 200^2

d= 824.6 m

we can find the direction by using the eq for a tangent

he opposite side is 200 m and the adjacent side is 800m

tan theta = opposite / adjacent

theta = arc tan (800/200)

The hawk is at a distance of 824.6m flying at an angle 76 degrees NE of the mountain peak.

The final location will be southwest of the mountain peek.

a2+b2=c2

a = 200

b= 800

c = √(2002+8002) = 824.62

So the hawk has flow 824.62 meters southwest of the mountain peak.

To find the x-intercepts algebraically, we let y = 0 y=0 y=0 in the equation and then solve for values of x. In the same manner, to find for y-intercepts algebraically, we let x = 0 x=0 x=0 in the equation and then solve for y.

Answer:

y = 2x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

(3, 5) (5, 9)

slope = (9-5)/(5-3) = 4/2 = 2

y = mx + b

5 = 2(3) + b

-1 = b

y = 2x -1
