Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
When the equation of the line is in the form ...
y = mx + b
the coefficient 'm' is the slope of the line, and the value 'b' is the y-intercept, the point on the y-axis where the line crosses.
We say the line is "steeper" when the magnitude of the slope is greater. Line B, with its slope of 7 will be steeper than line A, with its slope of 3.
the new slope is steeper
__
The y-intercept of line A is -3. The y-intercept of line B is +1, so it crosses the y-axis above the point where line A crosses. One could say that line B is shifted up, when referring to the y-intercept.
Answer:
x = 88.2
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle at the top of the triangle = 90° - 10° = 80°
and the left side of the triangle is x ( opposite sides of a rectangle )
Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle
tan80° = =
Multiply both sides by x
x × tan80° = 500 ( divide both sides by tan80° )
x = ≈ 88.2
