Answer:

x = 7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x-4)=-5

Distribute

3x - 12 = -5

Add 12 to each side

3x -12+12 = -5+12

3x = 7

Divide by 3

3x/3 = 7/3

x = 7/3

Answer:y=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply -4 by -2 you get positive 8 rewrite the equation subtract 8 from both sides that leaves you with 8y=-32 your final step is to divide both sides 8 that leaves you with -4 which is the answer.

What is the slope of the line?

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

In technical terms, the slope of the line is the change in y over the change in x. But I just like to think of it as rise over run. To find the slope of the line, pick two points on the line.

I'll do Problem 8 to get you started

a = 4 and c = 7 are the two given sides

Use these values in the pythagorean theorem to find side b

$a^2 + b^2 = c^2\\\\4^2 + b^2 = 7^2\\\\16 + b^2 = 49\\\\b^2 = 49 - 16\\\\b^2 = 33\\\\b = \sqrt{33}\\\\$

With respect to reference angle A, we have:

opposite side = a = 4
adjacent side = b = $\sqrt{33}$
hypotenuse = c = 7

Now let's compute the 6 trig ratios for the angle A.

We'll start with the sine ratio which is opposite over hypotenuse.

$\sin(\text{angle}) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}\\\\\sin(A) = \frac{a}{c}\\\\\sin(A) = \frac{4}{7}\\\\$

Then cosine which is adjacent over hypotenuse

$\cos(\text{angle}) = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}\\\\\cos(A) = \frac{b}{c}\\\\\cos(A) = \frac{\sqrt{33}}{7}\\\\$

Tangent is the ratio of opposite over adjacent

$\tan(\text{angle}) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}\\\\\tan(A) = \frac{a}{b}\\\\\tan(A) = \frac{4}{\sqrt{33}}\\\\\tan(A) = \frac{4\sqrt{33}}{\sqrt{33}*\sqrt{33}}\\\\\tan(A) = \frac{4\sqrt{33}}{(\sqrt{33})^2}\\\\\tan(A) = \frac{4\sqrt{33}}{33}\\\\$

Rationalizing the denominator may be optional, so I would ask your teacher for clarification.

So far we've taken care of 3 trig functions. The remaining 3 are reciprocals of the ones mentioned so far.

cosecant, abbreviated as csc, is the reciprocal of sine
secant, abbreviated as sec, is the reciprocal of cosine
cotangent, abbreviated as cot, is the reciprocal of tangent

So we'll flip the fraction of each like so:

$\csc(\text{angle}) = \frac{\text{hypotenuse}}{\text{opposite}} \ \text{ ... reciprocal of sine}\\\\\csc(A) = \frac{c}{a}\\\\\csc(A) = \frac{7}{4}\\\\\sec(\text{angle}) = \frac{\text{hypotenuse}}{\text{adjacent}} \ \text{ ... reciprocal of cosine}\\\\\sec(A) = \frac{c}{b}\\\\\sec(A) = \frac{7}{\sqrt{33}} = \frac{7\sqrt{33}}{33}\\\\\cot(\text{angle}) = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{opposite}} \ \text{ ... reciprocal of tangent}\\\\\cot(A) = \frac{b}{a}\\\\\cot(A) = \frac{\sqrt{33}}{4}\\\\$

------------------------------------------------------

Summary:

The missing side is $b = \sqrt{33}$

The 6 trig functions have these results

$\sin(A) = \frac{4}{7}\\\\\cos(A) = \frac{\sqrt{33}}{7}\\\\\tan(A) = \frac{4}{\sqrt{33}} = \frac{4\sqrt{33}}{33}\\\\\csc(A) = \frac{7}{4}\\\\\sec(A) = \frac{7}{\sqrt{33}} = \frac{7\sqrt{33}}{33}\\\\\cot(A) = \frac{\sqrt{33}}{4}\\\\$
