Answer:

25 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Sally is at the park standing directly under a kite which is 20 feet overheadSally's dad is flying the kitc and is standing 15 feet from her If both are on level ground, how long is the kite string in feet?

To calculate the length of the kite string, we will apply pythagorean theorem.

Length = sqrt ( 20^2 + 15^2 )

Length = sqrt ( 400 + 225 )

Length = sqrt ( 625 )

Length = 25 feet.

Therefore, the length of the kite string is 25 feet.

The slope of the line is m=3/4. One point is (x, 2) and (3,-4)<br> Find X
Viktor [21]

Answer:

x is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the slope (3/4) and a point (3,-4), so we can use point-slope form (y-y1=m(x-x1)

Substitute the numbers into the equation

y--4=3/4(x-3)

simplify

y+4=3/4(x-3)

do the distributive property

y+4=3/4x-9/4

subtract 4 from both sides

y=3/4x-25/4

this is the equation of the line.

Since it says that (x,2) is a point in the equation, we can substitute it into the equation

2=3/4x-25/4

add 25/4 to both sides

33/4=3/4x

multiply by 4/3

11=x

we can double check by plugging (11,2) into the equation of the line.

2=3/4(11)-25/4

2=33/4-25/4

2=2

it works! :)

Hope this helps!

find the equation of the straight line which has a gradient of 3 and passes through the point (-1, 3)
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

y=3x+6

Step-by-step explanation: 3=3(-1)+b

                                             3=-3+b

                                             +3  +3

                                              6=b

Please help, Will mark brainliest
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

y = - 8 x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use any two pairs to find the slope with

slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

for example:  (0, 2), and (1, -6)

slope = (- 6 - 2) / (1 - 0) = - 8

so the equation should look like:

y = -8 x + b

use point (0, 2) to find b:

2 = - 8 (0) + b

b = 2

Then

y = - 8 x + 2

What is a formula for the nth term of a given sequence
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

a_n=-12-4(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence is

-12,-16,-20...

The first term of this sequence is a_1=-12.

The common difference is

d=-16--12

d=-16+12=-4

The nth term of this arithmetic sequence is;

a_n=a_1+d(n-1)

We substitute the values for the first term and the common difference to obtain;

a_n=-12-4(n-1)
