Answer:

If the kite has an 11 ft line attached to it and it casts an 8 feet shadow, we will have a rectangle triangle (see picture below).

To find the height x of the kite, we can apply the Pythagorean theorem.

x² = 11² - 8²

x² = 121 - 64

x² = 57

x =√57

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (2, 5) and (0, −4)?
Alexus [3.1K]
Plug the two points into the slope formula.

m = y2-y1/x2-x1

m = (-4 - 5)/(0 - 2)

m = -9/-2

m = 4.5

So the slope is 4.5

Answer:

-3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is calculated by dividing the difference in the y-coordinates by the difference in the x-coordinates.

Here, the given ordered pairs are (-6, -8) and (-14, 4), so the slope is:

slope = m = (4 - (-8)) / (-14 - (-6)) = 12 / (-8) = -3/2

The answer is thus -3/2.
