Answer: -3.125
Step-by-step explanation: -1 divided by 8 = .125
Notice the picture below
so.... the angle of depression, is above in dashed lines.... however, the angle of depression, is identical to the angle of elevation from the water, since, both angles are "alternate interior" angles
now, using the 45-45-90 rule, then we know the swimmer is 90 feet from the lighthouse, then just use the tangent ratio to get "x"
The equation of a line that goes through the point (x1,y1) and has a slope of m is
y-y1=m(x-x1)
so, given the point (-2,8)
x1=-2
y1=8
y-8=m(x-(-2))
y-8=m(x+2)
the equation is y-8=m(x+2) where m is the slope
or you could rewrite it to get y=mx+2m+8
14/16= .875 the answer is 87.5%
Answer:
600 m
Step-by-step explanation:
You know that she walks 1 meter in 1 second, but they're asking about minutes. Since 60 seconds are in 1 minute, it means she was 60 meters in 1 minute. Then multiply that by 10 (10 minutes).
She walked 600 meters, in 10 minutes.
I hope this helped!
