y-intercept = 9 → (0, 9)
x-intercept = -7 → (-7, 0)
Look at the picture.
We have to determine the equation of the line passing through the point (2,-5) and parallel to the line
When two lines are parallel, then the slopes of the two lines are equal.
Equation of line with point and slope 'm' is given by:
Since, we have to determine the equation of a line with point (2,-5).
So, the equation of the line is :
Since, the line is parallel to the line
So,
So, slope of the line 'm' is .
Therefore, the equation of the line is:
Therefore, is the required equation of the line.
Answer:
Height of flag pole to the nearest foot is 43 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
In the diagram we have flag pole AB and C is the point on the ground.
It is given that angle of depression is 30°
and the distance of the point C from the base B is 75 feet
so we have
BC= 75 feet
∠C = 30°
AB= h feet
now in right ΔABC
now we plug AB= h , ∠C= 30° and BC =75
( multiply both sides by 75)
Height of flag pole to the nearest foot is
h= 43 feet
