Point-slope form is:

y - y = m(x - x)

Slope-intercept form is:

y = mx + b

First we need to find the slope. Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes, so we need to flip the fraction and multiply by -1. The slope of the given line is 1/5, so the new slope will be -5.

Now put it in point-slope form.

y - (-3) = -5(x - 8)

y + 3 = -5(x - 8)

Now for slope-intercept form, solve for y.

y + 3 = -5x + 40

y = -5x + 37

Answer and working out are in the picture
The slope intercept form is y=-5x+37 (sorry, I didn't specify in the picture)

You multiply 8 and 5 to get 40 then you divide 300 into 40 to get the answer which is 7.5

Find c in the pic below

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the angle inside the triangle (to the right side of 90 degree angle), we first have to find the adjacent angle (below it).

Angle 122 and that adjacent angle is same (parallel lines cut by transversal -- they are corresponding angles).

So that angle is 122.

The inside triangle angle (what we want) is adjacent to 122, so we can write:

Angle + 122 = 180 [straight angle/straight line is 180 degrees]

Solving for that angle, we have:

Angle = 180 - 122 = 58

Now, looking at the triangle, Side C is "opposite" of 58° and side "20" is the side that is "hypotenuse" [side opposite of 90 degree angle is hypotenuse).

Which trig ratio relates "opposite" and "hypotenuse"??

Yes, it is SIN. Thus we can write:

$Sin(58)=\frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse}=\frac{C}{20}$
