Answer:

34.72 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the relation :

Length of tree / shadow of tree = height of melody / shadow of melody

From the details given in the question :

Let height of tree = h

h / 62 = 5.6 / 10

Cross multiply

h * 10 = 62 * 5.6

h = 347.2 / 10

h = 34.72 feets

Hence, the height of tree is 34.72 feets

Write an equation that is parallel to the line 4x - y = 2 and passes through the point (-2, 3)
sergeinik [125]
We can start from the given line's coefficients and translate the line from the origin to the given point.
  4(x -(-2)) -(y -3) = 0
  4x +8 -y +3 = 0

The equation of the desired line is ...
  4x -y = -11

_____
For standard form line ax+by=c, any parallel line will have only a different value of c. For c=0, the line goes through the origin (0, 0). To make it go through point (h, k) we can write it as
  a(x-h) +b(y-k) = 0
which is completely equivalent to
  ax +by = ah +bk
