Achild lies on the ground and looks up at the top of a 17-ft tree nearby. the child is 14 ft away from the tree. what is the angle of elevation from the child to the top of the tree? round to the nearest whole degree.

ok then what happened.

{x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2

collect results in alphabetical order:

answer:   {x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

option c) graph of line going through 1, 4 and 3, 10

step-by-step explanation:

let y equal to margo's coin collection

let x equal to number of years

at the begining x=0, y=1 → point=(x,y)→point=(0,1)

she adds 3 coins per year, then y=1+3x

at x=1, y=1+3(1)=1+3→y=4→point=(x,y)→point=(1,4)

at x=3, y=1+3(3)=1+9→y=10→point=(x,y)→point=(3,10)

the graph of line going through (1, 4) and (3, 10), then the option c is the correct.
