Linear functions have the general form y=mx+b, where m is the slope. The first function has a slope of 2, while the second one has a slope of -1, so y=2x+1 has a greater slope.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
tany+coty =
·



The slope formula is y2-y1 divided by x2- x1 so -8-6=-14 and -1+3=2
-14/2 =-7
We are given
height = 3.7 mi
radius = 3959 mi
We are asked for the distance between the man and the horizon
The straight line from the man to the horizon is a tangent line to the surface of the earth
Using Pythagorean theorem
(3.7 + 3959)² = 3959² + d²
Solve for d
d = 171 mi
