The equation of the line is y=2x+1.

We must must transform the standard form equation 3x+6y=5 into a slope-intercept form equation (y=mx+b) to find its slope.

3x+6y=5 (Subtract 3x on both sides.)

6y=−3x+5 (Divide both sides by 6.)

y=− 3/6x+ 5/6

​y=− 1/2x+ 5/6

​The slope of our first line is equal to − 1/2.Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, so if the slope of one is x, the slope of the other is − 1/x

​The negative reciprocal of − 1/2 is equal to 2, therefore 2 is the slope of our line.

Since the equation of line passing through the point (1,3), therefore substitute the given point in the equation y=2x+b:

3=(2×1)+b

3=2+b

b=3−2=1

Substitute this value for b in the equation y=2x+b:

y=2x+1

Hence, the equation of the line is y=2x+1.

In ∆ABC, if sin A = 4/5 and tan A = 4/3 , then what is cos A?
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

A = 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

At the outset, the question doesn't give us a figure to refer to nor does it tell us if this is a right angled triangle. However we observe that both sin A and tan A have the numbers 3, 4 and 5. We recognize this to be consistent with  3-4-5 standard right angled triangle.

Hence we can guess that it is probably a right angled triangle, but we should do the following to confirm:

Knowning that for a right angled triangle,

sin A = opposite / hypotenuse = 4/5

tan A = opposite / adjacent = 4/3

From this we can surmise that

Opposite = 4

hypotenuse = 5

adjacent = 3

Assemble the triangle to see if this works (see attached). We can futher verify that 3-4-5 works using the Pythagorean theorem.

Now that we have determined that the triangle is a 3-4-5 right angled triangle,

cos A = adjacent / hypotenuse = 3/5
