comparing the relation given
thus y= -2x +1 to the general equation of a line
where y= mx + c
where m is the gradient and c is the intercept on the y-axis.
from the question, the gradient is -2 and since the line is perpendicular, the gradient is given as
so substituting the value of m in to the equation
=
as the gradient
equation of line is given by
y - y1 = m( x-x1)
from the question y1= -2 and x1=1
substitute them
y-(-2) = 1/2 (x -1)
y+2 =1/2 (x-1)
multiplying through by 2
2 (y+2) = x-1
2y +4 = x-1
2y =x-1-4
2y =x-5
x -2y -5 = 0
therefore the equation for the line is x-2y -5=0
The probabilities of all possible outcomes in a distribution must sum to 1.
Problem 10
<h3>Answer: approximately 57.39159 km</h3>
Explanation: You'll use the equation cos(28) = d/65 to solve for d to get d = 65*cos(28) = 57.39159 approximately. We use the cosine ratio because it ties together the adjacent and hypotenuse.
=====================================
Problem 11
<h3>Answer: approximately 10.46162 meters </h3>
Explanation: This time we use the sine rule. We have the height as the opposite side (which is unknown, call it x) and the hypotenuse is the ladders length (11). So we have sin(72) = x/11 which solves to x = 11*sin(72) = 10.46162
=====================================
Problem 12
<h3>Answer: approximately 16.05724 cm</h3>
Explanation: Now we use the tangent rule to connect the opposite and adjacent sides.
tan(37) = 12.1/x
x*tan(37) = 12.1
x = 12.1/tan(37)
x = 16.05724 approximately
