Use a calculator to evaluate sec 85°.

Your  calculator might not be able to perform a "secant" function, but that's because it's easy to convert.

On top of your three basic trig functions (sine, cosine, and tangent) there are three more which act as their reciprocals. (cosecant, secant, and cotangent, respectively)

As review: A reciprocal is when you flip a fraction. For instance, the reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2. If you have some number that's not a fraction like 5, you can put it as a fraction 5/1 and then get the reciprocal 1/5.

sec(85°) is the reciprocal of  cos(85°)
sec(85°) = 1/cos(85°) = 1/0.0871557427 = 11.4737133 <em>(round as needed)</em>

I did something wrong could you help?

Answer:

Slope = 1/2

y-intercept = 30

Equation : y = 1/2x + 30

D. 150 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the two visible points you marked on the graph.

They are (0,30) which is also the y-intercept and (20,40).

Calculate change of y over change of x.

10/20 or 1/2

So the slope is 1/2 and the y-intercept is 30.

Therefore, using y = mx + b form, the equation is y = 1/2x + 30

Then, to find how many miles you drove if the cost was $105, we can plug in 105 for y in the equation.

105 = 1/2x + 30

75 = 1/2x

x = 150

How do you find the slope on a graph?
Katarina [22]

Answer:

I am unsure of the specifics, I always used slope-intercept form.    

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is a specific question you are struggling with try entering the problem in m-a-t-h-w-a-y. This always helps me.
