Answer:

y = -1/6 x + 11

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to write an equation of a line you need slope (m) and y-intercept (b) or where the graph grosses the y- axis. since you are given two points (6, 10) and (4, -2). Slope when given two points is (y - y) / (x - x)

so (-2 - 10) / (6 - 4) = 6 / - 1 =- 6

use the equation y = mx + b and substitute either point (6, 10) or (4, -2) as a replacement for x and y respectively. (I chose (6, 10) because they are positive numbers. Substituting x = 6 and y = 10 and m = -6 into y = mx + b

10 = -6(6) + b

10 = -36 + b

b = 46 (add -36 to both sides)

so our equation: y = -6x + 46 :-)

Answer:

y = 6x - 26

Step-by-step explanation:

1. find slope: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

(-2 - 10) / (4 - 6) = -12 / -2 = 6

basic equation: y = 6x + b

2. plug in (x,y) value using one set of coordinates.

10 = 6(6) + b

10 = 36 + b

b = 10 - 36

b = -26

3. plug b in to find full equation.

y = 6x -26

What is the length of the hypotenuse of the trim angle ?

Ksju [112]

So for this, you'll be using the pythagorean theorem, which is $leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2$ . In this case, 10 and 24 are the legs, and AB is the hypotenuse. Our equation will be $10^2+24^2=AB^2$

Firstly, solve the exponents: $100+576=AB^2$

Next, combine 100 and 576: $676=AB^2$

And lastly, square root both sides to get $26=AB$

And in short, Line AB is 26 ft, or the first option.

Find the exact value

Mnenie [13.5K]

By using properties for trigonometric functions and trigonometric expressions, we find that the exact value of the sine of the angle 5π/12 radians is $\frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{3}}}{2}$ .

<h3>How to find the exact value of a trigonometric expression</h3>

Trigonometric functions are trascendent functions, these are, that cannot be described algebraically. Herein we must utilize trigonometric formulae to calculate the exact value of a trigonometric function:

$\sin \frac{5\pi}{12} = \sqrt{\frac{1 - \cos \frac{5\pi}{6} }{2} }$

$\sin \frac{5\pi}{12} = \sqrt{\frac{1 + \cos \frac{\pi}{6} }{2} }$

$\sin \frac{5\pi}{12} = \sqrt{\frac{1 + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} }{2} }$

$\sin \frac{5\pi}{12} = \sqrt{\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{4} }$

$\sin \frac{5\pi}{12} = \frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{3}}}{2}$

Find the measures of each angle in the triangle.

Rufina [12.5K]

We use 2 different rules here:

1) sum of angles in a triangle is equal to 180 degrees

2) when a triangle side is a diameter of the circle, then angle opposite to diameter is equal to 90 degrees.

so from 2) we know that B= 90

then from first one:

sum of angles = 180 = 90 + (3x + 6) + x = 96 + 4x

so 180 - 96 = 4x
so x = 84/4
x = 21

so answer is
A= 3x+ 6 = 63 + 6 = 69
B = 90
C = 21
