To determine the line with steeper slope.

Answer to Problem 41PPS
Line 2 is steeper.
Explanation of Solution
Given information :
Line 1: (0, 5) and (6, 1)
Line 2: (-4, 10) and (8, -5)
The line with higher magnitude value of slope will be steeper.
Hence we shall determine the slope of the both lines using the points.
We know that the slope of a line is given by the formula,
Slope of line 1 is,
Slope of line 1 is,
Hence we can observe that
Therefore line 2 is steeper.

- Can someone help me with this please?arrow_forwardMariela is in her classroom and looking out of a window at a tree, which is 20 feet away. Mariela’s line of sight to the top of the tree creates a 42° angle of elevation, and her line of sight to the base of the tree creates a 31° angle of depression. What is the height of the tree, rounded to the nearest foot? Be sure to show your work to explain how you got your answer.arrow_forward1arrow_forward
