Work Shown:
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(B) = AC/AB
tan(67) = x/8.6
8.6*tan(67) = x
x = 8.6*tan(67)
x = 20.2603303460843 ... make sure your calculator is in degree mode
x = 20.3 .... rounding to 3 significant figures

Answer: y=-13/12x-7
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope-intercept form, we first need to find the slope. To find the slope, you use the formula . We use the two given points to find the slope.
Now that we have our slope, we can start filling out the slope-intercept form equation.
y=mx+b
y=-13/12x+b
Since we don't know the y-intercept, we can use one of the given points and solve for b.
6=(-13/12)(-12)+b [multiply (-13/12) and -12]
6=13+b [subtract both sides by 13]
b=-7
With the y-intercept, we can complete our equation.
y=-13/12x-7
