Using linear equations, the number of minutes that both would read for them to read equal number of pages is: 30 minutes.

<h3>What is the Equation of a Linear Graph?</h3>

Equation of a linear graph is given as, y = mx + b, where m and b are the slope and y-intercept of the graph respectively.

Equation for Emily's graph:

Slope (m) = rise/run = 1/3

y-intercept (b) = 2

Substitute m = 1/3 and b = 2 into y = mx + b

y = 1/3x + 2

Equation for Serena's graph:

Slope (m) = rise/run = 2/5

y-intercept (b) = 0

Substitute m = 2/5 and b = 0 into y = mx + b

y = 2/5x + 0

y = 2/5x

To find how many minutes for both of them to read the same number of pages, make both equations equal to each other.

2/5x = 1/3x + 2

2/5x - 1/3x = 2

1/15x = 2

Multiply both sides by 15

x = (2)(15)

x = 30

The answer is 30 minutes for both to read the same number of pages.

Fill in Sin, Cos, and tan ratio for angle x. <br> Sin X = 4/5 (28/35 simplified)

Fantom [35]

Answer:

Given: $\sin(x) = (4/5)$ .

Assuming that $0 < x < 90^{\circ}$ , $\cos(x) = (3/5)$ while $\tan(x) = (4/3)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Pythagorean identity $\sin^{2}(x) + \cos^{2}(x) = 1$ .

Assuming that $0 < x < 90^{\circ}$ , $0 < \cos(x) < 1$ .

Rearrange the Pythagorean identity to find an expression for $\cos(x)$ .

$\cos^{2}(x) = 1 - \sin^{2}(x)$ .

Given that $0 < \cos(x) < 1$ :

$\begin{aligned} &\cos(x) \\ &= \sqrt{1 - \sin^{2}(x)} \\ &= \sqrt{1 - \left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^{2}} \\ &= \sqrt{1 - \frac{16}{25}} \\ &= \frac{3}{5}\end{aligned}$ .

Hence, $\tan(x)$ would be:

$\begin{aligned}& \tan(x) \\ &= \frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)} \\ &= \frac{(4/5)}{(3/5)} \\ &= \frac{4}{3}\end{aligned}$ .

Can someone help me plz

wolverine [178]

Answer:

75°

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall: SOH CAH TOA

Reference angle = ? = θ

Side length opposite to reference angle = 27

Hypotenuse length = 28

Apply SOH, which is:

$sin(\theta) = \frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse}$

Substitute

$sin(\theta) = \frac{27}{28}$

$\theta = sin^{-1}(\frac{27}{28})$

$\theta = 75 degrees$ (nearest degree)
