In the question it is given Sin theta= \frac{8}{17}

Sine theta is given to lie in second quadrant and the question is asking to find cot theta.

In second quadrant sine is positive while cot is negative.

Sine is the ratio of opposite and hypotenuse.

Sin theta =\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

Cot theta=\frac{Adjacent }{opposite}

For the given question opposite is 8 and hypotenuse is 17.

We can find adjacent side by using Pythagoras Theorem

c^{2} =a^{2} +b^{2}

c is hypotenuse and a and b are the two legs

Substituting the value of c and b we have:

17^{2} =8^{2} +b^{2}

289=64+b^{2}

289-64=b^{2}

[ subtracting 64 both sides]

225=b^{2}

Taking root both sides

b=15

Cot theta=- \frac{15}{8}

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

(2,1)

Step by step explanation:      

Please find the attachment.

We have been given that line l_1 is horizontal and passes through point (1,1). Line l_2 is vertical and passes through point (2,2). We are asked to find point of intersection of line l_1 and line l_2.  

Line l_1 is a horizontal line so y-coordinate will be 1 for any value of x. Line l_2 is a vertical line, so x-coordinate will be 2 for any value of y.

Therefore, intersection point of both lines will include x-coordinate of line l_2 and y-coordinate of line l_1 that is (2,1).
