Point-Slope equation: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) ; m is slope and (x₁ ,y₁) is the coordinate

y - (-1) = -2(x - (-4)

y + 1 = -2(x + 4) <em>simplified (two negatives make a positive)</em>

Point slope form says the line through (a,b) with slope m is

y - b = m(x - a)

Here that's

y - - 1 = -2(x - -4)

Answer: y + 1 = -2(x + 4)

a tree casts a shadow that is 20 ft long. the angle of elevation of the sun is 29°. how tall is the tree?

mars1129 [50]

You can use the trig ratios. Draw a diagram to see which one is appropriate.
Tan would be used.
Tan29=x/20
20Tan29=x
Put this into your calculator and see what you get

What value of B makes the expression. x² + Bx + 81 a perfect square trinomial?

Oxana [17]

Answer:

B.) 18

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the correct b value we use this formula

b² - 4ac = 0

b = What we are solving for

a = 1

c = 81

b² - 4(1)(81) = 0

b² - 324 = 0

b² = 324

$b = \sqrt{324}$

b = ±18

And 18 is one of the answer choices

So B.) 18 is the correct answer.
