For the case of a line through
(
2
,
7
)
and
(
1
,
−
4
)
we have
slope
m
=
Δ
y
Δ
x
=

1
−
2
=
−
11
−
1
=

Using the point
(
2
,
7
)
we can write the equation of the line in point slope form as:
y
−
7
=
m
(
x
−
2
)
where the slope
m
=
11
.
That is:
y
−
7
=
11
(
x
−
2
)
To get point intercept form, first expand the right hand side so...
y
−
7
=
11
x
−
(
11
⋅
2
)
=
11
x
−
22
Then add
7
to both sides to get:
y
=
11
x
−
15
=
11
x
+
(
−
15
)
This is point intercept (
y
=
m
x
+
c
) form with slope
m
=
11
and intercept
c
=
−
15
.
Base B (aka p) is equivalent to 18
p=18
7 x - 5 = 8
7 x = 8 + 5
7 x = 13
x = 13/7
7 ( 13/7) - 5 = 8
91/7 - 35/7 = 56/7
56/7 = 56/7 = 8
Answer:
sin-¹(10/11)
Step-by-step explanation:
The height of the building is 100 ft and the ladder is 110ft long .We can imagine this situation as a right angled ∆. For figure refer to the attachment .
- We can use ratio sine here. Let the angle of elevation be theta.
<u>In </u><u>∆</u><u> </u><u>ABC </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>
=> sinθ = p/h
=> sinθ = 100ft / 110 ft
=> sinθ = 10/11
=> θ = sin -¹ ( 10/11) .
<h3><u>Hence </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>angle</u><u> of</u><u> elevation</u><u> </u><u>is </u><u>sin </u><u>-</u><u>¹</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>0</u><u>/</u><u>1</u><u>1</u><u>)</u><u>. </u><u> </u></h3>
