Michele wanted to measure the height of her school’s flagpole. she placed a mirror on the ground 48 feet from the flagpole, then walked backward until she was able to see the top of the pole in the mirror. her eyes were 5 feet above the ground and she was 12 feet from the mirror. using similar triangles, find the height of the flagpole to the nearest tenth of a foot.

a) t'(-3, 6) and v'(0, 3)  

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is
