Can you use a number line to find the distance between (–3, –6) and (–2, –4)? yes, because the points are in the same quadrant. yes, because all of the numbers are negative. no, because either the x-coordinates or the y-coordinates need to be the same to use a number line to find distance. no, because the numbers are all negative.

C. No, because either the x-coordinates or the y-coordinates need to be the same to use a number line to find distance.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to use a number line to judge the distance between 2 points, either the x-coordinates or the y-coordinates need to be equal in order to make it a horizontal or vertical line.

I know you probably already did this question but hopefully this can help someone else!

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given points are (–3, –6) and (–2, –4).

We need to check weather a number line can be use to find the distance between given points.

We can find the distance between two coordinate pairs by using number line if

x-coordinates of both points are same or y-coordinates of both points are same.

x-coordinate of first point = -3

y-coordinate of first point = -6

x-coordinate of second point = -2

y-coordinate of second point = -4

In given points, x-coordinates of both points are different and y-coordinates of both points are different. So, distance between these points cannot be find  by using a number line.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

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,
