What is the equation, in point-slope form, of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the point (-4, -3)

Because we don't have the slope of the line, we are unable to put together the entire equation. However, we can put in the point and leave the slope as m. You can later input the slope for the m when you find it. It will be the same slope as the original equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this, we start with the base equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Now we plug in the information from the point into (x1, y1)

y - -3 = m(x - -4)

y + 3 = m(x + 4)

answer:  

step-by-step explanation:

here x represents the height of the pole,

and, the height of the shadow of the pole is 12 feet.

also, the angle of elevation from the top of the pole is 40°,

therefore,

by the low of sine,

which is the required equation for finding the value of x,
