What is slope-intercept form? Why do we write equations using this form?

Mathematics

Brums [2.3K]3 years ago

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y-intercept

the slope is the rate of change of the graph, basically rise/run (change in y divided by change in x)

the y intercept is where the graph intercepts the y axis





we usually use this form because we can find the slope and find where it hits the y axis.
there are other forms that may be helpful later on, but this one is usually the easiest form to find from a graph

Answer:

<BCA = 44.4°

Step-by-step explanation:

Reference angle = <BCA = C

Opposite side length = x = 7 cm

Hypotenuse = y = 10 cm

Applying trigonometric ratio, we would have:

sin(C) = \frac{7}{10}

C = sin^{-1}(\frac{7}{10})

C = 44.427004

<BCA = 44.4° (to 3 SF)
