Point-slope form is one way of describing a straight line. It is useful when you have a line to be described and you know the coordinates of one point on the line and its gradient (slope).

The point-slope form equation of a straight line for a slope, m, and known coordinate (x_1, y_1) is y-y_1=m(x-x_1 ).

So for your question you have <span>(x_1, y_1) = (4, -9)</span> and slope = m = -1. You just put these numbers into the formula y-(-9)=-1(x-4) and this is your answer: the equation of the line.

In ΔBCD, the measure of ∠D=90°, the measure of ∠C=77°, and CD = 41 feet. Find the length of BC to the nearest foot.
OLga [1]

Answer:

182 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are not given a diagram, always draw one for yourself (see diagram).

When you have a right triangle (triangle with 90° angle), you can use the trigonometry ratios, You can remember them using SohCahToa. It is read like this:

<u>s</u>inθ = <u>o</u>pposite/<u>h</u>ypotenuse           Soh

<u>c</u>osθ = <u>a</u>djacent/<u>h</u>ypotenuse          Cah

<u>t</u>anθ = <u>o</u>pposite/<u>a</u>djacent                Toa

"θ" means the angle of reference (the angle you are talking about).

We are looking for the length of BC, which is the <u>hypotenuse</u>. I labelled it "d" (lowercase D) because it is opposite to ∠D.

We know ∠C = 77°. This will be our angle of reference (replace θ).

The side we know is DC, also known as "b" (lowercase B) because it's opposite to ∠B. "b" is the <u>adjacent</u> side when θ = C because "b" is touching ∠C.

Take the general trig. formula that has <u>hypotenuse</u> and <u>adjacent</u>: (cosine ratio)

cosθ = adjacent/hypotenuse

Substitute the variables specific for this problem.

cosC = b/d

Substitute the values you know.

cos77° = (41 ft) / d

Isolate "d" to the left side

dcos77° = d*\frac{41ft}{d}     Multiply both sides by "d"

dcos77° = 41 ft                          

dcos77° / cos77° = 41 ft / cos77°        Divide both sides by cos77°

d = 41 ft / cos77°                      Input into calculator

d = 182.261874....... ft           Unrounded answer

d ≈ 182 ft                       Rounded to nearest foot (whole number)

Remember d = BC. It's often easier to use one letter for calculations.

Therefore the length of BC is about 182 feet.

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 0.52 - 5y = 9?
otez555 [7]
The slope is 0.1
To find a perpendicular slope, find the negative reciprocal.
The reciprocal of 0.1 is 10
The negative of 10 is -10
Final answer:-10

Svetach [21]

Answer:

I believe the answer is- The mean and MAD can accurately describe the "typical" value in the symmetric data set.

Step-by-step explanation:

The other answers don't make sense because the mean and MAD are being used for symmetrical distributions and asymmetrical means uneven distributions.
