A line with a slope of 8 passes through the points (9,v) and (8,2). What is the value of v?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Slope of line is 8

m=8

And we are given two points where the line pass through

(x1,y1) = (9,v). ; x1=9, y1=v

(x2,y2)= (8,2). ; x2=8, y2=2

The slope of a line is given as

m=∆y/∆x

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

8=(2-v)/(8-9)

8=(2-v)/(-1)

Cross multiply

8×-1=2-v

-8=2-v

Subtract 2 from both sides

-8-2=2-v-2

-10=-v

Divide both sides by -1

-10/-1=-v/-1

Note, -÷-=+

10=v

Then v=10

We can write this as an expression:

→

Now, lets solve for v.

~Multiply -1 to both sides

* -1 = 8 * -1

~Simplify

2 - v = -8

~Subtract 2 to both sides

2 - 2 - v = -8 - 2

~Simplify

-v = -10

~Divide -1 to both sides

-v/-1 = -10/-1

~Simplify

v = 10

Best of Luck!

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,
