Answer: option B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + c

Where c = intercept

Slope, m =change in value of y on the vertical axis / change in value of x on the horizontal axis represent

change in the value of y = y2 - y1

Change in value of x = x2 -x1

y2 = final value of y

y 1 = initial value of y

x2 = final value of x

x1 = initial value of x

The line passes through (- 5, - 2) and (3, - 1),

y2 = - 1

y1 = - 2

x2 = 3

x1 = - 5

Slope,m = (- 1 - - 2)/(3 - - 5) = 1/8

To determine the intercept, we would substitute x = 3, y = - 1 and

m = 1/8 into y = mx + c. It becomes

- 1 = 1/8 × 3 + c

- 1 = 3/8 + c

c = - 1 - 3/8 = - 11/8

The equation becomes

y = x/8 - 11/8

Answer:

b.   y = 1/8 x - 11/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope = rise / run

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

=   1/ 8.

y = mx + c  where m = the slope and c = the y-intercept, so we have:

y = 1/8 x + c   Substituting  the point  x = 3 and y = -1:

-1 = 1/8 (3) + c

c = -1 - 1/8 (3)

c = -1 3/8 = -11/8

Find a numerical value if one trigonometric function of x if tan2x-sin2x/sin2x=5
seropon [69]

Answer:

The values of x that satisfy the given equation are:

x1 = 1.183 + nπ

x2 = -1.183 + nπ

Step-by-step explanation:

Given tan²x - sin²x/sin²x = 5

Simplifying this, we have

tan²x - 1 = 5

Adding 1 to both sides, we have

tan²x = 6

Because tan²x = (tanx)², we can write as

(tanx)² = 6

Taking square roots of both sides, we have.

tanx = ±√6

x = arctan(±√6) + nπ

≈ 1.183 + nπ or -1.183 + nπ

Help asap please 40 points for help
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

a. connect the point (0 , 3) with A

b. connect the origin (0 , 0) with B

c. For A: y = 0.5x +3

For B: y = 0.5x

Step-by-step explanation:

y = ax + b is the general rule for any straight line

a being the slope and b being the y intercept, a is given to be 0.5

y = 0.5x + b, substitute the coordinates of point A

4 = 0.5 *2 +b hence b = 4 - 0.5 *2 = 4 - 1 = 3

so y = 0.5 x + 3 is the equation of the line passing through A

since the second line that passes through B is parallel to the first, hence it has the same slope of 0.5

same procedure, substitute coordinates of B

2 = 0.5 * 4 + b hence b = 2 - 0.5 *4 = 2 - 2= 0

so y = 0.5 x is the equation of the line passing through B
