The answer is 38.25 thank me later
Answer:
⁵/₃
Step-by-step explanation:
If you are at the foot of the guy wire, the wire is going <em>up</em>.
Slope = Δy/Δx = 25/15 = ⁵/₃
If you are at the top of the pole, the wire is going <em>down</em>.
Slope = Δy/Δx = -25/15 = -⁵/₃
Only when <em>b</em> = 0 or <em>k</em> = 1<em>.</em>
If <em>f(x)</em> = <em>mx</em> + <em>b</em>, then
<em>f</em> (<em>kx</em>) = <em>m</em> (<em>kx</em>) + <em>b</em> = <em>mkx</em> + <em>b</em>
while
<em>k</em> <em>f(x)</em> = <em>k</em> (<em>mx</em> + <em>b</em>) = <em>kmx</em> + <em>kb</em>
The two expression are identical only if
<em>kb</em> = <em>b</em> ===> <em>kb</em> - <em>b</em> = 0 ===> <em>b</em> (<em>k</em> - 1) = 0 ===> <em>b</em> = 0 or <em>k</em> = 1
In this case, you aren't going to get an integer for the value of a, but you can rearrange the equation to equal a.
4a-3=D add 3 to both sides
4a=D+3 divide both sides by 4
a=(D+3)/4 here's your answer
