<h3>Answer:  Approximately 56 inches</h3>

===========================================================

Explanation:

The diagram is shown below. We know the vertical part of the triangle is 13 inches, which is the side opposite the reference angle 13 degrees. The adjacent side is unknown. We'll call it x. This is how long the base of the ramp is, which is the horizontal distance along the entire ramp. This distance is on the ground. The ramp itself is the hypotenuse but it seems like your teacher isn't wanting to know this value. So we'll ignore the hypotenuse.

We'll use the tangent rule to connect the opposite and adjacent sides.

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(13) = 13/x

x*tan(13) = 13

x = 13/tan(13)

x = 56.309186365694

x = 56 inches is the approximate horizontal distance underneath the ramp

To find x- intercepts
y = 0
(x+4)(x-2)=0
x+4=0 or x-2 = 0
x = -4 or x = 2

And the vertex will be (-1,-9)

The correct option is (B)

A system of equations is given below. y=1/2x-3 and -1/2x-3. Which of the following statements best describes the two lines?
pantera1 [17]

"They have different slopes but the same y-intercept, so they have one solution" is the statement which best describes the two lines.

Answer: Option D

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given equations:

           y=\left(\frac{1}{2} \times x\right)-3

           y=\left(-\frac{1}{2} \times x\right)-3

As we know that the slope intercept form of a line is  

                             y = m x + c  

So, from equation 1 and equation 2 we can see that

              m_{1}=\frac{1}{2} \quad \text { and } c_{1}=-3

              m_{2}=-\frac{1}{2} \text { and } c_{2}=-3

So, from the above expressions, we can say that both lines have different slopes but have same y – intercept with one common solution when x = 0.
