The picture in the attached figure

we know that
in the right triangle ABD
AB²=BD²+AD²-----> BD²=AB²-AD²
AB=8
AD=64/17
BD²=8²-(64/17)²----> 64-(4096/289)----> BD²=14400/289
BD=√(14400/289)-----> BD=120/17

sin A=BD/AB-----> sin A=(120/17)/8----> 15/17

the answer is
15/17

Answer:

b) 15/17

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that ΔABD is a right triangle with AB the hypotensue. The sine of an angle is the ratio of

opposite leg

hypotenuse

. In ΔABD you can solve for the opposite leg (BD) using the Pythagorean Theorem.

BD2 + [64/17)2 = 82

BD =

120

17

. Therefore, sin A =

15

17

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-5,2) and has a slope of 4/5
dedylja [7]

Answer:

4x - 5y + 30 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

When a slope of a line and a point passing through it is given then we use slope - one point form to determine the equation of the line.

It is given by:

                      $ (y - y_1) = m (x - x_1) $

where $m$ is the slope of the line and

           $ (x_1, y_1) $ is the point passing through it.

Here $m = \frac{4}{5} $ and $ (x_1 , y_1) = (-5,2) $.

Substituting in the equation we get

$ (y - 2) = \frac{4}{5} (x + 5) $

$ \implies 5y - 10 = 4x + 20 $

$ \implies 4x - 5y + 30 = 0 $
