Answer:

  • 108 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The line connecting the center with the end of the walkway is radius and is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

Horizontal leg is the distance x.

<u>Vertical leg has the length:</u>

  • (250)/2 - 62 = 63 ft

<u>Using Pythagorean theorem to find the length of x:</u>

  • x² = (250/2)² - 63²
  • x² = 125² - 63²
  • x² = 11656
  • x = √11656
  • x = 107.96 ≈ 108

What is an equation of a line,in point-slope from, that passes through (1, -7) and has a slope of -2/3
il63 [147K]

Answer:

y + 7 = - \frac{2}{3}(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

Where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = - \frac{2}{3} and (a, b) = (1, - 7), thus

y - (- 7) = - \frac{2}{3}(x - 1), that is

y + 7 = - \frac{2}{3}(x - 1) ← in point- slope form
