Answer:
y=3x-4
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope intercept form is :
y=mx+b
where m is the slope, and b is the y intercept.
We are given the slope, it is 3. we are also given the y intercept, it is (0,-4). For this form, the 0 in (0,-4) is ignored, and we consider the y intercept to be -4.
So, m is 3, and b is -4. Substitute the values into the equation
y=3x+ -4
y=3x-4
So, the equation in slope intercept form is
y=3x-4
Figure A, the rectangle in the top left corner is the correct answer.
This revolves around exact trig values - no easy way to say this, you just need to memorise them. They are there for sin cos and tan, but I will give you the main tan ones below - note this is RADIANS (always work in them when you can, everything is better):
tan0: 0
tanpi/6: 1/sqrt(3)
tanpi/4: 1
tanpi/3: sqrt(3)
tanpi/2: undefined
Now we just need to equate -2pi/3 to something we understand. 2pi/3 is 1/3 of the way round a circle, so -2pi/3 is 1/3 of the way round the circle going backwards (anticlockwise), so on a diagram we already know it's in the third quadrant of the circle (somewhere between pi and 3pi/2 rads).
We also know it is pi/3 away from pi, so we are looking at sqrt(3) or -sqrt(3) because of those exact values.
Now we just need to work out if it's positive or negative. You can look up a graph of tan and it'll show that the graph intercepts y at (0,0) and has a period of pi rads. Therefore between pi and 3pi/2 rads, the values of tan are positive. Therefore, this gives us our answer of sqrt(3).
