The x-intercept of -2 gives us an idea that point (-2,0) if found along the line. The y-intercept of -1, tells us that point (0,-1), this also tells us that b = -1.
Now that we have two points, we can solve for slope m
Now that we have both m and b. Substitute these values to the slope intercept form
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question we're going to use trigonometric identities and good ol' Pythagoras theorem.
a) Firstly, sec(θ)=52. we're gonna convert this to cos(θ) using:
we can substitute the value of sec(θ) in this equation:
and solve for for cos(θ)
side note: just to confirm we can find the value of θ and verify that is indeed an acute angle by
b) since right triangle is mentioned in the question. We can use:
we know the value of cos(θ)=1\52. and by comparing the two. we can say that:
we can find the third side using the Pythagoras theorem.
we can find the sin(θ) using this side:
and since
