Forces in direction x:
 
fx1 = 100 * cos (50) = 64.28
 fx2 = 50 * cos (160) = - 46.99
 The resultant is:
 fx = fx1 + fx2 = 17.29

 Forces in direction y:
 
fy1 = 100 * sine (50) = 76.60
 fy2 = 50 * sine (160) = 17.10
 The resultant is:
 fy = fy1 + fy2 = 93.70
 The magnitude of the resulting force is:
 
f = root (fx ^ 2 + fy ^ 2)
 f = root ((17.29) ^ 2 + (93.70) ^ 2)
 f = 95.28
 The angle is:
 
theta = atan (fy / fx)
 theta = atan (93.70 / 17.29)
 theta = 79.55 degrees
 Answer:
 
The direction and magnitude of the resultant force are:
 
f = 95.28 pounds at theta = 79.55 degrees

What is the slope of the line through the points (0, 0) and (2, 6)
EleoNora [17]
For this problem, you would use the slope formula, or m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1). So, let's put in what we know.

The x's and y's correspond with our coordinates. So let's plug that in:

m=(6-0)/(2-0)
m=(6)/(2)
m=3

So, the slope of your line is 3.
