Answer: y = - x - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The line crosses the y intercept at y = -6
The slope of the graph looks negative, as it extends from the top left quadrant to the bottom right quadrant.
A key trick is to use rise/run to figure out the slope:
Between each dot on the line, it rises 2 and runs -3 (negative because the direction is left).
So your equation would be: y = - x - 6
Answer:
Height of the kite = 36 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangle attached in the figure shows the complete picture,
I am sitting at point A, string connecting the kite and me is side AC, height of the kite from the ground is side BC and side AB representing the distance between me and the kite.
Length of side BC = h
Length of side AC = 39 feet
Length of side AB = 15 feet
By applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔABC,
AC² = AB² + BC²
(39)² = (15)² + h²
h² = 1521 - 225
h² = 1296
h = √1296
h = 36 feet
Therefore, kite is at 36 feet height.
