<u>Answer:</u>
The equation through (-3, -2) and perpendicular to y = x – 1 is y = -x -5 and option c is correct.
<u>Solution:</u>
Given, line equation is y = x – 1 ⇒ x – y – 1 = 0. And a point is (-3, -2)
We have to find the line equation which is perpendicular to above given line and passing through the given point.
Now, let us find the slope of the given line equation.
We know that, <em>product of slopes of perpendicular lines is -1. </em>
So, 1 slope of perpendicular line = -1
slope of perpendicular line = -1
Now let us write point slope form for our required line.
y – (-2) = -1(x – (-3))
y + 2 = -1(x + 3)
y + 2 = -x – 3
x + y + 2 + 3 = 0
x + y + 5 = 0
y = -x -5
Hence the equation through (-3, -2) and perpendicular to y = x – 1 is y = -x -5 and option c is correct.
The distance d is 9 ft and the height is 12ft.
<h3>How to find the distance and the height?</h3>
Here we can model the situation with a right triangle, where the length of the wire is the hypotenuse.
The height is one cathetus and the distance is the other catheti.
Let's define:
- h = height
- d = distance.
- hypotenuse = 15ft
We know that the height of the tower is 3 ft larger than the distance, then:
h = d + 3ft
Now we can use the Pythagorean theorem, it says that the sum of the squares of the cathetus is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.
Then:
Now we can solve this equation for d:
Then the solutions are:
We only take the positive solution:
d = (-3ft + 21ft)/2 = 9ft
And the height is 3 ft more than that, so:
h = 9ft + 3ft = 12ft
The distance d is 9 ft and the height is 12ft.
