A line intersects the point (-3,-7) and has a slope of -1/3. What is the slope intercept equation for this line? Y = -X/3 -[?]

1 answer:

7 0

First, you can plug this into the point slope formula. you will have to do that before you can get the slope intercept form. Plug in what you know. m is slope, so plug in -1/3 for m. The point given can be plugged in to the formula also. This is what it should look like:

y + 7 = -1/3(x + 3)

***** Note that the -3 and -7 become positive because it is subtracting negative numbers and 2 negatives make a positive. *************************

Now distribute the -1/3 times x and 3.

y + 7 = -1/3x - 1

Now to get y by itself, add 7 to both sides.

y = -1/3x + 6

This is your answer: y = -1/3x + 6

To solve the equation 5sin(2x)=3cosx, you should rewrite it as___.

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to solve the equation:

$5\sin(2x)=3\cos(x)$

To do so, we can rewrite the equation.

Recall the double-angle for sine:

$\sin(2x)=2\sin(x)\cos(x)$

By substitution:

$5\left(2\sin(x)\cos(x)\right)=3\cos(x)$

Distribute:

$10\sin(x)\cos(x)=3\cos(x)$

We can subtract 3cos(x) from both sides:

$10\sin(x)\cos(x)-3\cos(x)=0$

And factor:

$\cos(x)\left(10\sin(x)-3\right)=0$

Hence, our answer is A.

*It is important to note that we should not divide both sides by cos(x) to acquire 10sin(x) = 3. This is because we need to find the values of x, and one or more may result in cos(x) = 0, and we cannot divide by 0. Hence, we should subtract and then factor.
