First, let's re-arrange to slope-intercept form.

x + 8y = 27

Subtract 'x' to both sides:

8y = -x + 27

Divide 8 to both sides:

y = -1/8x + 3.375

So the slope of this line is -1/8, to find the slope that is perpendicular to this, we multiply it by -1 and flip it. -1/8 * -1 = 1/8, flipping it will give us 8/1 or 8.

So the slope of the perpendicular line will be 8.

Now we can plug this into point-slope form along with the point given.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 8(x + 5)

y - 5 = 8x + 40

y = 8x + 45

If sinθ = A, find cos(π/2-θ)<br><br> (using trigonometric identities to fine the value)
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

Cos(π/2 - θ) = A

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

Sin(θ) = A

And we want to find the value of Cos(π/2 - θ)

Here we can use the cosine relationship:

Cos(a - b) = Cos(a)*Cos(b) + Sin(A)*Sin(B)

Then:

Cos(π/2 - θ) = Cos(π/2)*Cos(θ ) + Sin(π/2)*Sin(θ)

We know that:

Cos(π/2) = 0

Sin(π/2) = 1

Then:

Cos(π/2 - θ) = Cos(π/2)*Cos(θ ) + Sin(π/2)*Sin(θ) = 0*Cos(θ ) + 1*Sin(θ)

                    = 1*Sin(θ) = A

Cos(π/2 - θ) = A
