A skateboarding ramp is 18 in. high and rises at an angle of 17º. How long is the base of the ramp? Round to the nearest inch.

y = 3x+4

step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope

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

    = (-8-4)/ (-4-0)

    = -12/-4

  = 3

using the slope intercept form of a line

y= mx+b

we know the slope is 3

we know the y intercept is 4 ( the point where it crosses the y axis or x=0)

y = 3x+4

i dont know

step-by-step explanation:

the reason i dont know is because i have not taken this class and for that reason i haven't learned this stuff

hope i could

add -60 to 120 which will result in : 2x+3y=180

then subtract 2x: 3y=-2x+180

lastly, divide by 2: y= -2/3x+60

hope this is the answer you're looking for: )
