The diagram shows rays of light from a point source, P, that reach a detector, D, along two paths. One path is a straight line, while the other is bent by reflection off a mirror. What is the value of b, correct to one decimal place? Assume that all the points in the diagram lie in the same plane. A.
5.4

B.
4.2

C.
3.6

D.
2.8

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

false

step-by-step explanation:

the reason i say this is because for a certain length of sides you can pick any two and the length is wither equal or greater than the third side and in this case it's not.

3 + 5 = 8

8 is smaller than 9 which is the third side.

hope this : )
