Answer:

x = length of sitcoms = 21 minutes

y = length of dramas = 42 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = length of sitcoms

y = length of dramas

6x + 6y = 372 (1)

2x + 6y = 288 (2)

Subtract (2) from (1) to eliminate y

6x - 2x = 372 - 288

4x = 84

x = 84/4

x = 21

Substitute x = 21 into (1)

6x + 6y = 372

6(21) + 6y = 372

126 + 6y = 372

6y = 372 - 126

6y = 246

y = 246/6

y = 41

x = length of sitcoms = 21 minutes

y = length of dramas = 42 minutes

Use the order pairs to find the linear equation in slope intercept form<br> (0,10) &amp; (3,2)
Virty [35]

y = \frac{-8}{3}x + 10 is the equation in slope intercept form

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given points are (0, 10) and (3, 2)

We have to find the slope intercept form

Let us first find the slope of line

<em><u>The slope of line is given as:</u></em>

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Here,

(x_1, y_1) = (0, 10)\\\\(x_2, y_2) =(3,2)

<em><u>Substituting the values we get,</u></em>

m = \frac{2-10}{3-0}\\\\m = \frac{-8}{3}

<em><u>The equation of line in slope intercept form is given as:</u></em>

y = mx + c ------- eqn 1

Where, "m" is the slope of line and "c" is the y intercept

Substitute m = \frac{-8}{3} and (x , y) = (0, 10) in eqn 1

10 = \frac{-8}{3} \times 0 + c\\\\c = 10

Substitute\ m = \frac{-8}{3}\ and\ c = 10\ in\ eqn\ 1

y= \frac{-8}{3}x + 10

Thus the equation of line in slope intercept form is found

hammer [34]

The perpendicular distance from Frank to the height of statue of Liberty is 306-5.5 = 300.5 ft .

And frank stand 400 feet away from the base of the statue , so base=400 feet

Since tangent function establish relationship between height and base, so we use tanhere.

tan \ x = \frac{300.5}{400} => x = 36.9 degree

So the correct option is the first option .
