if you have already covered slopes, you could also get it that way, in fact is simpler that way.
What is the equation of the following line? Be sure to scroll down first to see
1 answer:
<h2>Answer:</h2>
-1/3x
<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2><h3>Known :</h3>- x1 = -3
- x2 = 0
- y1 = 1
- y2 = 0
- Correct line equation
We can find the straight line equation using this formula,
Insert all we know inside the formula,
Use cross multiplication,
3(y - 1) = -1(x + 3)\
3y - 3 = -x - 3
3y = -x - 3 + 3
3y = -x
y = -1/3x
<h3>Conclusion :</h3>The correct equation is y = -1/3x

Check out the attached image for the drawing of how this would look. The drawing isn't 100% needed but it helps I think.
Based on the figure shown in the attachment, we have a right triangle with the adjacent leg of 80 (this leg is closest to the bottom 12 degree angle) and an opposite leg of h
In short,
adjacent = 80
opposite = h
We'll use the tangent rule
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(12) = h/80
80*tan(12) = h
h = 80*tan(12)
h = 17.0045249336018 <<-- see note below
So the lighthouse is roughly 17.0045249336018 meters tall
Answer: 17.0045249336018
Note: Make sure you are in degree mode. The value is approximate. Round this answer however you need to
