Step-by-step explanation:

Given line is 6x+3y=15

Slope of the given line (m)=-x/y

=-6/3

=-2

let slope of the line perpendicular to the given line be m'.

Condition of perpendicularity,

m×m'=-1

-2×m'=-1

m'=-1/-2

m'=1/2

a photographer shines a camera light at a particular painting forming an angle of 50 degrees with a camera platform at the light

Answer:

The painting is 42.13 feet above the platform

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer the attached figure .

A particular painting forming an angle of 50 degrees with a camera platform .

∠ABC = 50°

We are also given that the light is 55 feet from the wall where the painting hangs

i.e. AB = 55 feet.

Now we are required to find how high above the platform is the painting. i.e. AC

So, we will use trigonometric ratio :

$sin\theta = \frac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}$

$sin50^{circ} = \frac{AC}{AB}$

$sin50^{circ} = \frac{AC}{55}$

$0.766*55 = AC$

$42.13= AC$

Thus the painting is 42.13 feet above the platform
