Step-by-step explanation:
4x+5y=4 (equation 1)
2x-y=9 (equation2)
solving equation 1 and 2 and multiplying equation 2 by 2
4x+5y=4
4x-2y=18
- + -
________
7y= -14
y= -2
putting the value of y in equation 2
2x-y=9
2x+2=9
2x=7
x=3.5
The length of the support cable is about 29 feet.
If you sketch out the question, you will see that it will form a right triangle with the cable as the hypotenuse.
Just set up and use the Pythagorean Theorem.
15^2 + 25^2 = c^2
850 = c^2
29.15 = c
The midpoint would be (5,9)
