It is a percent decrease because the original is less than the final value and the answer is -24% decrease. Please give me brainless if right.
The value of x can be found using the sine function.
sin 30 = x/8
8 (sin 30) = x
4 = x
Given:
Point( 7, 5)
x = 7 and y=5
slope(m) = 1
We need to first find the intercept.
Substitute x=7, y=5 and m=1 into y=mx + b and solve for intercept(b)
5 = 1(7) + b
5 = 7 + b
5 - 7 = b
-2 = b
Now, form the equation by substituting the value of the slope and intercept into y=mx + b
y = x - 2
