It's a simple linear equation in 'y'. There is only one number that 'y' can be
that will make the equation a true statement. That number is called the
'solution' to the equation. Here's one way to find it:
You said that <u> 2 = y/5 - 8</u>
Add 8 to each side: 10 = y/5
Multiply each side by 5: <em> 50 = y</em>
Using the slope concept, it is found that the balloon's vertical distance above the ground is of 437.4 feet.
<h3>What is a slope?</h3>
The slope is given by the <u>vertical change divided by the horizontal change</u>, and it's also the tangent of the angle of depression.
In this problem:
- The vertical change is x.
- The horizontal change is of 602 ft.
Hence, applying the concept:
tan (36º) = x/602
x = 602 x tan(36º)
x = 437.4.

A triangles has side lengths of 7, 10 and 11 what is the perimeter of the triangle formed by joining the midpoints of these sides?
If it is a right triangle and AC is the hypotenuse, then AC is 5.
This is a Pythagorean Triple 3-4-5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x+10=0
x=-10
so vertex is (-10,-105)
