Answer: Length of shorter tree = 7.2 feet .
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Height of two trees as 50 feet and 20 feet.
At same time the angle made by sun rays would be same for both trees.
Both trees are vertical to the ground making right angle so triangles made by both triangles must be similar.
Corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional.
So
So, Length of shorter tree = 7.2 feet .
ANSWER: y= 3x - 6
STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:
(1,-3) and (3,3)
X1=1 X2=3
Y1= - 3 Y2=3
1) Find the slope of the line.
To find the slope of the line passing through these two points we need to use the slope formula:
m =
m= m=
= 3
2)Use the slope to find the y-intercept.
Now that we know the slope of the line is 3 we can plug the slope into the equation and we get:
y= 3x+b
Next choose one of the two point to plug in for the values of x and y. It does not matter which one of the two points you choose because you should get the same answer in either case. I generally just choose the first point listed so I don’t have to worry about which one I should choose.
y= 3x+b point (1,-3)
-3= 3(1) + b
-3-3=b
-6=b
3)Write the answer.
Using the slope of 3 and the y-intercept of -6 the answer is:
y = 3x - 6
