Answer:

y = -1/2(x -2)

or

y - 4 = -1/2(x + 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)

For point-slope form, you need two things:

  • A point (x1, y1)
  • The slope (m)

Given:

  • Points (-6, 4) and (2,0)

You already have at least one point, but you still need to find the slope.

To find the slope (m), use the formula: m = y2 - y1/x2 - x1

  • Select which point is your (x2, y2) and which is your (x1, y1)
  • NOTE: It doesn't matter which one you pick as long as you don't "mix-and-match" your x and y-coordinates
  • For example: you can't choose (-6,0) for a point.

I've chosen:

  • (x2, y2) = (2, 0)
  • (x1, y1) = (-6, 4)

Plug in the info into m = y2 - y1/x2 - x1:

  • m = 0 - 4/2 -(-6) = -4/2 + 6 = -4/8
  • Simplify: -4/8 = -1/2
  • m = -1/2

Now plug in the slope and ONE of the points into point-slope form

  • Tip: It doesn't matter which point you choose but I'd recommend choosing the point with all positive numbers, if you can, to prevent the confusion of double negatives:

Answers could be:

  • y = -1/2(x -2)
  • y - 4 = -1/2(x + 6)

The sin A is equal to 12/13 and the tan (A) is equal to 12/5.

<h3>RIGHT TRIANGLE</h3>

A triangle is classified as a right triangle when it presents one of your angles equal to 90º.  The greatest side of a right triangle is called hypotenuse. And, the other two sides are called cathetus or legs.

The math tools applied for finding angles or sides in a right triangle are the trigonometric ratios or the Pythagorean Theorem.

The Pythagorean Theorem says: hypotenuse^2=(leg_1)^2+(leg_2)^2. And the main trigonometric ratios are:

sin(\beta )= \frac{opposite\;leg}{hypotenuse} \\ \\ cos(\beta )= \frac{adjacent\;leg}{hypotenuse} \\ \\ tan(\beta )= \frac{opposite\;leg}{adjacent\;leg} \\ \\

The question gives cos (A)=5/13. If cos (A) is represented by the quotient between the adjacent leg and the hypotenuse, you have:

adjacent leg=5

hypotenuse=13

Therefore, you can find the opposite leg of A from Pythagorean Theorem, see below.

hypotenuse^2=(leg_1)^2+(leg_2)^2\\ \\ 13^2=5^2+(leg_2)^2\\ \\ 169=25+(leg_2)^2\\ \\ 144=(leg_2)^2\\ \\ leg_2=12

Thus, the opposite leg is equal to 12. Now, you can find sin (A) since:

sin(A)= \frac{opposite\;leg}{hypotenuse}=\frac{12}{13}

Finally, you can find the tan (A) since:

tan(a )= \frac{opposite\;leg}{adjacent\;leg}=\frac{12}{5}
