Hello,
If you are starting with the angle of 40 degrees, you have an adjacent side and hypotenuse. Therefore, it is a cosine relationship.
We can write:
cos(40) = adj / hyp
cos(40) = x / 220
To solve for x, simply multiply 220 by the cos(40).
You can write it as: 220 cos(40)
Good luck,

The first ordered pair is ( -4 , -3 )
The second ordered pair is ( 8, 3 )
=================================================
Explanation:
The first point is (x,-3) where x is unknown. It pairs up with y = -3 so we can use algebra to find x
x-2y = 2
x-2(-3) = 2 ... replace every y with -3; isolate x
x+6 = 2
x = 2-6
x = -4
The first point is (-4, -3)
---------------------------
We'll do something similar for the other point. This time we know x but don't know y. Plug x = 8 into the equation and solve for y
x-2y = 2
8-2y = 2
-2y = 2-8
-2y = -6
y = -6/(-2)
y = 3
The second point is (8, 3)
