The first thing to do with these problems is to convert them into y=mx+b form; this will literally show you the answer to slope and y intercept since m=slope and b=y intercept.
To convert, isolate the y and the rest should fall into place. Subtract 2x from 4y and the other side of the equation to get the equation 4y= -2x+9 (put the x first because of mx+b). Then Divide the 4 from y and do the same to the other side to get y= -1/2x+9/4. M= -1/2 so that is the slope. B=9/4 so that is the y intercept
Answer:
8.04
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution 1
x= r- 4.5= 25.2/2 - 4.5= 8.1
Solution 2
x= √(25.2/2)² - 9.7²= √64.67= 8.04

Complete question is;
A 21 ft ladder is leaning against a tall wall with the foot of the ladder placed at 7 feet from the base of the wall and the angle of elevation is?
Answer:
θ = 70.5°
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle of elevation simply means the angle that the ladder makes with the ground. Let's call this angle θ.
I've attached a diagram showing the triangle made by this ladder and the wall.
From the attached diagram, we can see the triangle formed by the ladder and the wall.
We can find the angle of elevation θ from trigonometric ratios.
Thus;
7/21 = cos θ
cos θ = 0.3333
θ = cos^(-1) 0.3333
θ = 70.5°
