Answer:
y = (2/3)x + 4 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
For reference, a linear function has an equation of y = mx + b
The first thing we're going to do is use the slope formula, or rise over run. In this case that looks like:
(-2-4) - (8 - -1)
-2 -4 comes out to - 6, and the denominator comes out to 9.
6/9 is equal to 2/3, which is our m or slope value.
Next we want to find the b value, or our y-intercept. To do that we'll plug one of the points into the equation with our new-found slope:
4 = (2/3)-1 +b
4 = -2/3 + b
4 2/3 = b
That means our complete equation is:
y = (2/3)x + 4 2/3
OR
y = (2/3)x + 14/3 (equivalent but an improper fraction rather than a mixed fraction).
Answer:
Height of a cell tower is, 30 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Proportion states that the two fractions or ratios are equal.
As per the given statement:
Let height of a cell tower be h.
Height of a pole = 3m ,
Shadow of a pole = 4 m and
shadow of a cell tower = 36+4 = 40 m
By definition of proportion;
Substitute the given values we get;
by cross multiply we get;
Divide both sides by 4 we get;
h = 30 m
Therefore, the height of a cell tower is, 30 m
