The angle of elevation between a fishing vessel and the top of a 50-meter-taill lighthouse is 12°. What is the approximate distance between the fishing vessel and the base of the lighthouse?
OA 48.9 meters
OB. 10.6 meters
OC 235.2 meters
OD240.5 meters

the equation of the parallel line would be y = 2x + 9

step-by-step explanation:

to start we need to find the slope of the original line. we can do that by looking at the coefficient of x, which is 2

since the slope of the original line is 2 and parallel lines have the same slope, we know the new line will also have 2 slope. now we can use that along with the point given in point-slope form to get the find equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 2(x + 2)

y - 5 = 2x + 4

y = 2x + 9

b is the correct answer
