John wants to measure the height of the tree in his yard. He stands so that the top of his shadow matches up with the top of the tree’s shadow. John is standing 14 meters from the tree and his shadow is 2 meters long. If John is 1.75 meters tall, how tall is the tree?

the correct answer is option c.   3

step-by-step explanation:

points to remember

equation of the line with coordinates (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by,

slope m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

from the figure we can see a line with two coordinates given

to find the slope of given line

here   (x₁, y₁)   = (-1, -1 ) and (x₂, y₂) = (1, 5)

slope m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

  = (5 - -1)/(1 - -1)

  = (5 + 1)/(1 + 1)

  = 6/2 = 3

therefore the correct answer is option c.   3

1) is right

step-by-step explanation:

i think asking google will you get the answer to that question

the formula of a slope:

we have the points (-2, 7) and (2, 3). substitute:
