Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they lie on the same line, it means that they are collinear.

Since they are collinear, the value of the slope between each 2 point is the same. Hence, we can have points PQR with the slopes PQ, PR and QR being the same.

The general formula for finding the slope of a line with 2 end points is :

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

using the first two points,

m = (0 - 9)/-1 -2 = -9/-3 = 3

Now to get the value of n. We can use the second point and the point containing n.

This means:

3 = (21 - 0)/(n + 1)

3 = 21/n + 1

3n + 3 = 21

3n = 18

n = 6

3/7? I’m not positive on this, it’s very straightforward but i mean 6/7 - 3/7 = 3/7 so i’m going with that

Answer:

  • The measure of reference angle is 30^{\circ}.
  • \cos \theta=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Converting \theta to degrees,

\theta=\left(\frac{11\pi}{6} \right) \left(\frac{180}{\pi} \right)=330^{\circ}

This means \theta lies in Quadrant 4, and thus its reference angle is 360^{\circ}-330^{\circ}=\boxed{30^{\circ}}

Since \theta lies in the fourth quadrant, \sin \theta and \tan \theta are negative.

Since \theta lies in the fourth quadrant, \cos \theta is positive, and is equal to \cos (30^{\circ})=\boxed{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}
