Answer: length of DE is about 3.3 ft

Step-by-step explanation: A calculator is necessary!

DE is the unknown hypotenuse of the triangle

get the sine of 23° = 0.3907311285

Use the equation for sine

<em>sin = o/h</em> .

To find h, Substitute values for sin and o. O is EC, Opposite the 23° angle D

<em>0.3907311285 = 1.3/h</em> multiply both sides by h

h(0.3907311285) = 1.3 divide both sides by 0.3907311285

h = 1.3/0.3907311285

3.327096065 = h, the length of the hypotenuse, DE.

Y=3/4 x-4

Answer:

see graph of y=3/4 x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you mean

$y = \frac34x - 4$

Below is a graph of that one. The slope is 3/4 and the interception with the y axis is at y=-4. The equation is in its normal form y=ax+b with a=3/4 (slope) and b=-4 (y intercept), so no conversion needed.

You have to be careful on how you write these equations down. It might very well be that you meant:

$y = \frac{3}{4x-4}$ or $y = \frac{3}{4x} - 4$

However, those are more complex so I'm hoping for the first one... ;-)

a taxi cost $1.65 for the 1st Mile and $0.85 for each additional mile. Which equation could be solved to find the number x of ad

Gekata [30.6K]

X = additional mile

0.85x + 1.65 = 20

to solve it:
subtract 1.65 from both sides. afterwards, divide both sides by 0.85 to find x!
