A long string with a balloon at the end was tied to the ground. After a breeze came up, the balloon was 55 feet to the right of where it was tied and 30 feet above the ground, as shown in the figure below. What is the slope of the line between the balloon and the point where it was tied?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope is 0.55

Step-by-step explanation:

Right Triangles

The string, the ground, and the height of the balloon form a right triangle where the trigonometric ratios are satisfied.

The image below shows the geometric construction. We are required to find the slope the string forms with the ground.

It can be found by using the tangent ratio:

[tex]\displaystyle \tan\theta=\frac{y}{x}[/tex]

Substituting y=30 and x=55

[tex]\displaystyle \tan\theta=\frac{30}{55}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \tan\theta=0.55[/tex]

The slope is 0.55

Ellie took a taxi from her house to the airport. The taxi company charged a pick-up fee of $1.50 plus $5 per mile. The total fare was $76,50, not including the tip. Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine m, the number of miles in the taxi ride.


I dont understand this​

Answers

Answer:   1.50+5m=76.50 m=15

Step-by-step explanation:

The required equation is 1.5 + 5m = 76.50 and distance travelled is 15 miles.

What is an equation?

In mathematics, an equation is a formula that expresses the equality of two expressions by connecting them with the equal sign = .

Now it is given that,

pick-up fee = $1.50 plus $5 per mile

Since, m is the number of miles in the taxi ride

So, equation for pick-up fee for m miles,

pick-up fee = $1.50 + $5m

Now total fare = $76,50

Thus, required equation to determine m is given as,

1.50 + 5m = 76.50

Subtracting 1.5 both the side we get,

1.50 + 5m - 1.5 = 76.50 - 1.5

⇒ 5m = 75

or, m = 75/5

⇒ m = 15

Thus, the required equation is 1.5 + 5m = 76.50 and distance travelled is 15 miles.

write an equation that is perpendicular to x - 3y =3 and passes through the point (5,-9) in slope-intercept form.

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  y = -3x +6

Step-by-step explanation:

The perpendicular line will have the coefficients of x and y swapped (and one of them negated), and will have a constant appropriate to the point the line needs to go through.

The equation will look like ...

  x -3y = 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . given line

  3x +y = constant . . . . . . perpendicular line

where "constant" can be found by substituting for x and y.

  3x +y = 3(5) +(-9)

  3x +y = 6 . . . . equation in standard form

To put this in slope-intercept form subtract 3x:

  y = -3x +6

What is y-intercept?

"The point at which the graph intersects the Y-axis."

What is slope intercept form of the line?

"y = mx + c, where m is the slope of the line and c is the Y-intercept."

For given question,

We have been given the graph of a line.

From the graph, we can observe that the line is passing through the points (4, 4) and (-6, 0)

Using slope formula the slope of the line would be,

[tex]\Rightarrow m=\frac{4-(-6)}{4-0}\\\\\Rightarrow m=\frac{10}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow m=\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

Also, the line intersects y-axis at y = 2

This means the y-intercept is c = 2

Using the slope-intercept form of the line the equation of the line would be,

[tex]y=mx+c\\\\y=\frac{5}{2}x+2[/tex]

Point E(-4, y) lies on the given line.

So, this point satisfies the equation of the line.

[tex]\Rightarrow y=\frac{5}{2}(-4)+2\\\\ \Rightarrow y=-10+2\\\\\Rightarrow y=-8[/tex]

Therefore, the value of y is -8

Answer:

1. B: 12 BB 18 FB,, 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. make the equation (198 + 33x) + 24x = 882 because there are a certain number of each ball (x) and 6 more footballs. since each football is 33 dollars, you do 33 x 6 which is 198, and then keep 33x and 24x. It is all equal to 882 since that is the final price. First, you subtract 198 on each side and combine the like terms (33x + 24x). Now it is 684= 57x and you divide 684 by 57, which equals 12. That means that there are 12 basketballs and 12 + 6 footballs, which is 18.

a line with the slope of 1/3 passes through the points of (6,0). what is the equation in slope intercept form?​

Answers

Answer:

y = 1/3x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation for slope intercept form is y= mx + b.

m is the slope and b is where the line crosses the y-axis which is called the y-intercept.

to find the y-intercept plug in a coordinate on the line (6,0)

0 = 1/3(6) + b

then solve for b by first multiplying 1/3 by 6

0 = 2 + b

subtract 2 from both sides

-2 = b

and then you can plug b into the equation

y = 1/3x - 2
