Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope (m) of the line can be derived using the following formula below:
To solve this, we can pick any two points on the line, and use the coordinates of the points to solve for the slope (m) of the line.
To find the slope (m) of the line given, let's use the coordinates of the points where the line intercepts the y-axis and the x-axis.
Thus, when x = 0, y = 3. Let's make this the first pair of coordinates at the point where the line intercepts the y-axis.
At the point where the line intercepts the x-axis, when x = -3, y = 0.
We now have the following points => in the following format (x, y) as:
Point 1 => (0, 3). Let this be (x1, y1)
Point 2 => (-3, 0). Let this be (x2, y2)
==>Let's find slope (m):
Slope (m) = 1

Answer:
The bird has to fly 7.5 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Please see diagram in attached image.
Notice that there is a right angle triangle that defines the situation, and you know two elements of such triangle;
1) one acute angle (), and
2) the side opposite to that angle.
What you need to find is the side adjacent to the angle, which is what the bird needs to fly horizontally to be above the fish. We named that "x".
The trig function that relates such triangle elements is the tangent:
which rounded to the nearest tenth is: 7.5 m
