Answer:

=

412

feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle of depression is always measured from the horizontal.

A triangle is formed by the lighthouse, the ground and the boat. The angle of depression is not in the triangle, but it is equal to the angle of elevation at the boat. (Alternate angles on parallel lines)

The angle at the top of the lighthouse, inside the triangle is:

90°−27°

=63°

The distance to the boat is the side opposite the angle of

63°

while the height of the lighthouse is the adjacent side.

opposite

adjacent

=tan 63°

distance

210=tan 63°

distance=210×tan 63°=412 feet

Write the equation of a line that has a m= -5 and passes through the point (-1,4)
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

We have a slope and a point, this way, we do not need to find the slope using two points. We can find the line using the Slope Form to turn it into Slope-Intercept Form, also known as "y = mx + b". We can use the Slope Form which is "y - y1 = m(x - x1)". A coordinate is "(x,y)", so that means, "(-1,4)" means that x = -1 and y = 4. We can substitute y1 for 4 and x1 for -1, and m for -5 since m is the slope. Plugging that information into the Slope Form Formula we get "y - 4 = -5(x - (-1))". We know that a negative with a negative turn positive, so we can use this information to change the formula to "y - 4 = -5(x + 1)". Now we distribute and simplify, these steps are shown below.

y - 4 = -5(x + 1)

y - 4 = -5x -5

y - 4 + 4 = -5x - 5 + 4

y = -5x - 1

Now that we have simplified it, we can see that the slope is -5 and the -1 is the y-intercept. To check this is a linear equation is to graph it, or substitute three x-coordinate or y-coordinates and draw a line. In conclusion, the equations is y = -5x - 1.
