I’m pretty sure the answer is 16, I’m very sorry if this is incorrect.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
on the edge of a cliff overlooking the Pacific ocean. You see a sailboat down in the water below you. The angle of depression to the sailboat is 28◦ . A quick tells you that the cliff you’re standing on is 150ft. How far away from the boat are you, in feet, rounded to one decimal place?(30pts)
We solve using the Trigonometric function of TANGENT
tan 28 = 150/x
Perpendicular lines have the negative reciprocal slope, so the slope of your new line will be -1/4 and the current equation will be as follows:
y = -1/4x + b
(where b is the y intercept)
to find b, plug in point A and you'll get:
2 = -1/4(16) + b
2 = -4 + b
6 = b
the equation will be:
y = -1/4x + 6
