In traveling across flat land, you notice a mountain directly in front of you. Its angle of elevation (to the peak) is 5 degrees . After you drive 8 miles closer to the mountain, the angle of elevation is 11 degrees. Approximate the height of the mountain.

the answer is -1 1/5, also a

-lavira : )

one way is to plot 2 points and connect them which is what the answer choices seem to be doing

it seems to be using the y intercept and the slope

y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept (where the line hits the y axis)

slope=rise/run

y-intercept is where the line croses the y axis which is the y value where x=0

you seem to have given the wrong slope (you didn't put a number in front of te x, it should be 2/3 or 3/2 looking at the answer options)

y=? x-1

m=? because of your fault

b=-1

so it has a slope of ? and y intercept of -1, meaning it pases through (0,-1)

so draw point (0,-1) (so answer is one of the first 2 option)

if slope is 2/3, then go up 2 and right 3 then draw line through those 2 points

if slope is 3/2, then go up 3 and right 2 then draw line through those 2 points

y=foot

x=foram

a. easy, plug 17 for x and evaluage for y

y=0.860(17)+3.302

y=14.62+3.302

y=17.922 inches

b. rate of change is slope

y=mx+b

m=slope

so

rate or change is 0.860 inches per legnth of forarm

c. what data

d. it is a function

since it is 1st degree (no exponents greater than 1 on the placeholder), and it is not a vertical line

it is a function
