<h3>Given</h3>

right triangle with side "a" = 12 and hypotenuse "c" = 15

<h3>Find</h3>

cos(∠A)

<h3>Solution</h3>

The Pythagorean theorem tells you

... b = √(c² - a²) = √(225 - 144) = √81 = 9

The definition of the cosine tells you

... cos(A) = b/c = 9/15

... cos(A) = 3/5 . . . . . . reduce the fraction

Line A's equation is y = 3x + 11. Line B is parallel to Line A and and goes through
podryga [215]

Answer:

<u>y = 3x + 8</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

line a: y = 3x + 11

This means that the slope is 3 and the y intercept is 11.

(-1,5)

line b: y = 3x + b <--- we need to solve for b and plug in the numbers from the coordinates

Just plug in the numbers!

5 = 3(-1) + b

5 = -3 + b

5 + 3 = b

8 = b

The y intercept is b! So the equation is:

y = 3x + 8
