Answer:

height of the man is ≈ 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

shadow of the man/ shadow of the tree = height of the man/ height of the tree

4/11 = x/18                   cross multiply

11x = 4(18)

11x = 72

  x = 6.5

What ordered pair is a solution to y = x + 5 and x - 5y = -9?<br> I also need to show the work.
Margarita [4]

Answer:

(- 4, 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = x + 5 → (1)

x - 5y = - 9 → (2)

Substitute y = x + 5 into (2)

x - 5(x + 5) = - 9 ← distribute and simplify left side

x - 5x - 25 = - 9

- 4x - 25 = - 9 ( add 25 to both sides )

- 4x = 16 ( divide both sides by - 4 )

x = - 4

Substitute x = - 4 into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for y

Substituting into (1)

y = - 4 + 5 = 1

Solution is (- 4, 1 )

Write a vector equation of the line that passes through P(4, 7) and is parallel to a = (3, 8).
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

(x,y) = P + (a)t

(x,y) = (4,7) + t(3,8)

(x,y) - (4,7) = t(3,8)

(x-4, y-7) = t(3,8)
