Answer:
u = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the slope intercept formula:

Substitute our values from the points and the known slope:

Now we multiply both sides by (8 - u) to isolate the x:
(8-u) x
= -7 (8 - u)
Next we add 56 to both sides:
-7 = -56 + 7u
Finish off by dividing both sides by 7:
7u = 49
u = 7
First solve the 2 inequalities for x:-
x > 0 or x <= -5
The last choice is the correct one.
Answer:
- 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = - 3x + 9 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = - 3
Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus
y = - 3x + 4 ← is the equation of a parallel line
We know that the trigonometric identity that uses the adjacent side and the hypotenuse is cosine. We can set this up as:

We need to solve for x, so let's isolate it:

So,
x = 10.2 units
