Answer:

  • 21°

Step-by-step explanation:

A boat captain, lighthouse and its base form a right triangle.

<u>We need to find the angle opposite to 22 ft side:</u>

  • tan x = 22/103
  • x = arctan (22/103)
  • x = 21°

<em>Note, option D should read 21° not 11°</em>

A line passes through the points (–1, –5) and (4, 5). The point (a, 1) is also on the line.
IgorC [24]

Answer:

a = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the equation of the line using the 2 points given.

Let's call -1 as x_1 and -5 as y_1

also, 4 as x_2 and 5 as y_2

The equation of line is :

y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)

<em>Let's plug the points and get the equation of the line:</em>

y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)\\y+5=\frac{5+5}{4+1}(x+1)\\y+5=2(x+1)\\y+5=2x+2\\y=2x-3

Now, to find a, we substitute a in x and 1 in y of the equation of the line we just got:

y=2x-3\\1=2(a)-3\\1=2a-3\\2a=4\\a=\frac{4}{2}=2

A spinner and 4 cards are shown below:
yan [13]

Answer: 1 over 20

Step-by-step explanation: If the spinner has 5 parts to it at purple is one of those parts then the spinner has a 1/5 chance of it landing there.

If there are 4 cards and 1 of them are pink then there is a 1/4 chance of picking pink(if done randomly)

So if we mutiply 1/4 and 1/5, we get 1/20

That is how I arrived at my answer of 1 over 20

Please help me about this math

So to label the axes the number of people would be on the left and number of forks on the bottom. choosing your scale means how you would choose to count. the independent variable is the forks and dependent is the people. For the scale I would count by 2s for the x-axis and 1s for the y-axis.
