Again using the Pythagorean Theorem:
h^2=x^2+y^2, where h is the hypotenuse of a right triangle and x and y are the side lengths. You are given that the hypotenuse is 34 ft and the base side is 16ft. Let h=34, x=16, and y=height, then you have:
34^2=16^2+y^2
y^2=34^2-16^2
y^2=1156-256
y^2=900
y=√900
y=30 ft
So the ladder will reach a spot 30 feet high on the building.
Answer:
The equation of the line that is parallel to the line x = -2 and passes through the point (-5, 4) is x=-5
Option A is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find equation of the line that is parallel to the line x = -2 and passes through the point (-5, 4)
We need a line parallel to x=-2 or x+2=0 it should be of form x+k=0
We need to find k, by putting value of x=-5 as given in question the point(-5,4)
-5+k=0
k=5
So, the equation of line will be found by putting k=5:
x+k=0
x+5=0
x=-5
So, the equation of the line that is parallel to the line x = -2 and passes through the point (-5, 4) is x=-5
Option A is correct.
The slope-intercept of the line is
y= -2/3x + 2
Going up 2, left 3
Change in y
