Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
5y - 2y = 10
3y = 10
y = 10/3 = 3⅓
Put the other line in point slope form...(solve for y :D )
3y=15x+9
y=5x+3, so this line has a slope of 5
For a line to be perpendicular to another the slopes have to be negative reciprocals of each other...mathematically...
s1*s2=-1
So for the other line to be perpendicular to the first:
5m=-1, m=-1/5, thus our other line (so far) is:
y=b-x/5, now we can use the point (-8,-1) to solve for the y-intercept, "b":
-1=b-(-8)/5
-1=b+8/5
-1=b+1.6
b=-2.6
So the perpendicular line that contains the point (-8,-1) is:
y=-0.2x-2.6
Answer: Assuming the riders starts at the position (20, 0) on the x-axis, the exact position of the rider will be (20cos75, 20sin75) or about (5.18, 19.32).
The angle for 5pi/12 radians is 75 degrees. Therefore, to find the position we can use the sine and cosine of 75 to find the x and y value of the coordinate.
For the y-value, we can write and solve:
sin75 = x/20
For the x-value, we can write and solve:
cos75 = x/20
2 two-fifths are in four-fifths.
Hope this helps and have a great day!!!
