Slope of a line passing though point (x1,y1) nd (x2,y2) is
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

we have
(1,-3) and (3,-5)
x1=1
y1=-3
x2=3
y2=-5

slope=(-5-(-3))/(3-1)=(-5+3)/(2)=-2/2=-1

slope=-1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(a - b)(a +b) = a² - b²

1 - Sin² A = Cos² A

$LHS = \frac{1}{1- Sin A} + \frac{1}{1 + Sin A}\\\\= \frac{1*(1 + Sin A)}{(1- Sin A)(1 + Sin A)} + \frac{1*(1- Sin A)}{(1 + Sin A)(1- Sin A)}\\\\= \frac{1 + Sin A+ 1 - Sin A}{1^{2}- Sin^{2} A}\\\\= \frac{2}{1 - Sin^{2} A}\\\\= \frac{2}{Cos^{2} A}\\\\= 2 Sec^{2} A$

2) Sec² A - Tan² A = 1

$LHS = \frac{1}{Sec A - Tan A}\\\\=\frac{1*(Sec A + Tan A)}{(Sec A - Tan A)(Sec A + Tan A)}\\\\=\frac{Sec A + Tan A}{Sec^{2} A - Tan^{2} A}\\\\=\frac{Sec A + Tan A }{1}\\\\= Sec A + Tan A = RHS\\\\\\$

3) LHS = Cosec² A + Cot² A

= Cosec² A + Cosec² A - 1

= 2Cosec² A - 1 = RHS

$4) LHS = \frac{Sec A}{Cos A}- \frac{Tan A}{Cot A}\\\\ = Sec A*\frac{1}{Cos A}-Tan A*\frac{1}{Cot A}\\\\ = Sec A * Sec A - Tan A * Tan A\\\\= Sec^{2} A - Tan^{2} A \\\\= 1$
