Answer:

Length of the ramp = 18.6 feet (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Horizontal distance (base distance) = 17 feet

Angle of elevation = 24°

Find:

Length of the ramp

Computation:

Cosθ = Length of base / Length of hypotenuse

Cos 24 = Horizontal distance (base distance) / Length of the ramp

Cos 24 = 17 / Length of the ramp

0.9135 = 17 / Length of the ramp

Length of the ramp = 17 / 0.9135

Length of the ramp = 18.6 feet (Approx.)

This graph shows a proportional relationship.
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The constant of proportionality is:

  • k = 5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when y varies directly with x, we get

y ∝ x

y = kx

k = y/x

where 'k' is called the constant of proportionality

From the graph, it is clear that the point (2/5, 1/2) passes through the line which represents the direct relationship.

so we have the point (2/5, 1/2), and

x = 2/5

y = 1/2

so substituting x = 2/5 and y = 1/2 in the equation

k = y/x

k = [1/2] / [2/5]

k = [1 × 5 ] /  [2 × 2 ]

k = 5/4

Therefore, the constant of proportionality is:

  • k = 5/4

snow_tiger [21]
Hello:
equation is the line is : y = ax+b        a is a slope
 y = (-3/4)x+b
<span>passing through the point (−3;−3) :   -3 =(-3/4)(-3)+b
y = (-3/4)x-(21/4)

</span>We draw the <span>Graph by two points : A(-3;-3)  B(0;-21/4)</span>
