Answer:
a) 
b) 
Step-by-step explanation:
Polar coordinates are represented as: 
, where 'r' is the length (or magnitude) of the line, and '
' is the angle measured from the positive x-axis.
in our case:
to covert the polar to cartesian:
we can plug in our values:
the Cartesian coordinates are:
(b) to convert (x,y) = (6.06,-3.5)
we'll use the pythagoras theorem to find 'r'
the angle can be found by:
to convert radians to degrees:
writing in polar coordinates:
The mathematical answer would happen to be... 0
Notice that the triangle is a right triangle, because of the right angle. By the Pythagorean Theorem,
. Then
, d. 8 m
The key with these problems is to find which function has the closest y-intercept to the graph, and then try to figure out which one best approximates the slope.
Here are our options:
<span>A. y = x + 4
B. y = 4x + 9
C. y = x + 18
D. y = 3x + 22
Which has the closest approximation of the y-intercept?
The y-intercept is not directly given, but we can assume it is less than 10.
That leaves us with A and B.
Which has the closest approximation of the slope?
The graph, on average, seems to move up about 60 and over about 15.
Slope = rise/run = 60/15 = 4. Although the slope isn't exactly 4, it's much closer to 4 than 1, which is slope for option A.
Therefore, the answer is
B) y= 4x + 9
