Answer:
probably about 3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope of line = tan(120) = -tan(60) = - √3
Distance from origin = 8
Let equation be Ax+By+C=0
then -A/B=-√3, or
B=A/√3.
Equation becomes
Ax+(A/√3)y+C=0
Knowing that line is 8 units from origin, apply distance formula
8=abs((Ax+(A/√3)y+C)/sqrt(A^2+(A/√3)^2))
Substitute coordinates of origin (x,y)=(0,0) =>
8=abs(C/sqrt(A^2+A^2/3))
Let A=1 (or any other arbitrary finite value)
solve for positive solution of C
8=C/√(4/3) => C=8*2/√3 = (16/3)√3
Therefore one solution is
x+(1/√3)+(16/3)√3=0
or equivalently
√3 x + y + 16 = 0
Check:
slope = -1/√3 .....ok
distance from origin
= (√3 * 0 + 0 + 16)/(sqrt(√3)^2+1^2)
=16/2
=8 ok.
Similarly C=-16 will satisfy the given conditions.
Answer The required equations are
√3 x + y = ± 16
in standard form.
You can conveniently convert to point-slope form if you wish.
Given:
The wheel chair ramp is parallel to the ramp.
To find:
The value of x and y.
Solution:
If two lines are parallel, then the alternate interior angles are congruent.
4x° + 6y° = 86° --------- (1)
Similarly,
5x° + 6y° = 94°
Subtract 5x° from both sides.
5x° + 6y° - 5x° = 94° - 5x°
6y° = 94° - 5x° --------- (2)
Substitute (2) in (1).
4x° + 94° - 5x° = 86°
94° - x° = 86°
Subract 94° on both sides.
94° - x° - 94° = 86° - 94°
- x° = 86° - 94°
- x° = -8°
Multiply by -1 on both sides, we get
x = 8
Substitute x = 8 in (2).
6y° = 94° - 5(8)°
6y° = 54°
Divide by 6 on both sides, we get
y = 6
The value of x is 8 and y is 6.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
8 blocks left, 6 blocks up.
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember the acronym of NESW (North, East, South, West). I remember it as Never Eat Shredded Wheat. If you go 6 blocks up, and 8 blocks left, you would be 8 blocks left, and a little down.
