1. an escalator lifts people to the second floor of a building, 27 ft above the first floor. the escalator rises at a 30degrees angle. to the nearest foot, how far does a person travel from the bottom to the top of the escalator?

2. a helicopter hovers 650

feet above a small island. the figure shows that the angle of depression from the helicopter to point p is 41 degrees .

how far off the coast, to the nearest foot, is the island?

b= - ft

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
