Answer: 80 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write these as fractions and do cross multiplication with the numerator being the height of the object while the denominator being the length of the shadow:

5 * 128 = 8x

640 = 8x

80 = x

Thus, the height of the lighthouse is 80 feet tall.

[30 POINTS] Please help!!!

Len [333]

Answer:

Part 1) $y=1.5x+5$

Part 2) $y=-(2/3)x-(11/3)$

Part 3) $y=0.25x+2.75$

Part 4) $y=-2x+5$

Part 5) $y=0.5x-1$

Part 6) The graph in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) we have

$m=3/2=1.5$

$point(-2,2)$

The equation of the line into point slope form is equal to

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

substitute

$y-2=1.5(x+2)$

$y=1.5x+3+2$

$y=1.5x+5$

Part 2) we know that

If two lines are perpendicular

then

the product of their slopes is equal to minus one

$m1*m2=-1$

the slope of the line 1 is equal to

$m1=1.5$

Find the slope m2

$1.5*m2=-1$

$m2=-2/3$

Find the equation of the line 2

we have

$m2=-2/3$

$point(-7,1)$

The equation of the line into point slope form is equal to

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

substitute

$y-1=(-2/3)(x+7)$

$y=-(2/3)x-(14/3)+1$

$y=-(2/3)x-(11/3)$

Part 3) we have

$m=1/4=0.25$

$point(1,3)$

The equation of the line into point slope form is equal to

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

substitute

$y-3=0.25(x-1)$

$y=0.25x-0.25+3$

$y=0.25x+2.75$

Part 4) we have

$m=-2$

$b=5$ -----> y-intercept

we know that

The equation of the line into slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

substitute the values

$y=-2x+5$

Part 5) we have that

The slope of the line 4 is equal to $-2$

the slope of the line perpendicular to the line 4 is equal to

$-2*m=-1\\m=(1/2)=0.5$

therefore

in this problem we have

$m=0.5$

$point(-2,-2)$

The equation of the line into point slope form is equal to

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

substitute

$y+2=0.5(x+2)$

$y=0.5x+1-2$

$y=0.5x-1$

Part 6)

using a graphing tool

9+(6w+3w) how do I do this it is to hardThe expression (9+6w)+3w

Mama L [17]

Answer: 9w+9

Step-by-step explanation:

First combine like terms: 6w+3w

You can't combine 9 and 9w so that would be your answer.

Then if it calls for it, use the commutitive property to move 9w before 9.

Hope this helps!

What is the slope of the line passing (-3 ,4) and (2, -1)?

alexdok [17]

The slope is -1.

because the slope formula gives you (-1-4)/(2-(-3)) which is -5/5 which also is -1

WHATS THE ANSWER PELASE SOMEONE HELP

Travka [436]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Take a look at the graph starting from the left. You’ll see that on the horizontal line, the graph starts at -4 then starts to go downward until it gets to -2 and it starts going up after that so your first interval is (-4, -2). The line increases from -2 to 2 and then it starts sliding downward again from 2 to 4 so your second decreasing interval is (2, 4).
