Step-by-step explanation:

Here are some hints: "At the same time,"means you need to set up a proportion (two ratios equal each other).

The shadow is always on the ground.

A person and a flagpole always stands up straight, like a wall (vertical height)

Underline key words and numbers. Draw a picture for sure.

|X 5.5 ft. |

|____________ |____

flagpole=50 feet person's shadow=4 feet

shadow

Since it is easier to work with one type of measurement, change the person's height to feet only. The person is 5feet, 6inches Note: 12 inches= 1 foot, so 6 inches= 1/2 a feet and 6 inches= .5 feet

Write the equation of the graph​
lakkis [162]

Answer:

y = x -3

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph we see the line goes from point (0, -3) to point ( 3, 0), so we can find the slope as m= rise ( go up 3)  / run ( go to the right 3)  = 3/ 3 = 1

From the graph we can also see the y-intercept ( where the line intersects the y axis is at b = -3

The general equation of the line is y= mx+ b

Our line's equation is y = x -3, because m=1 and b= -3
