There are two trees in a yard. the taller x feet tall, and casts a shadow that is 37 feet long. the small tree is 14.5 feet tall, and casts a shadow that is 22.7 feet long. write and solve a proportion to find the height of taller tree

23.6344 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

x/37 = 14.5/22.7

multiply each denominator by the other side's numerator.

22.7x = 536.5

divide 536.5 by 22.7

x = 23.6344

Round how your teacher instructed you to.

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
