Answer:
Approx 61.554 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are dealing with the opposite and adjacent sides, we will use tangent as our ratio.
Since the angle of elevation is 72 degrees, the left side of our equation is 
.
The right side of the equation is opposite over adjacent.
Set these equal to each other.
Simplify.
x is approximately 61.554.
parallel lines, have the same exact slope, hmmm what is the slope of y = -2/3 x + 1/3 anyway? well, low and behold, the equation is already in slope-intercept form, therefore
has a slope of -2/3.
so we're really looking for a line whose slope is -2/3 and runs through 9,4.
Answer:
If we are to treat these as two ordered pairs, then the rate of change is 1.25.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find this, use the slope equation with the ordered pairs.
m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (11 9/16 - 9 1/16)/(12 - 10)
m = (2 8/16)/2
m = 2.5/2
m = 1.25
Now we know that this could be a function since we have a constant slope.
