Step-by-step explanation:
Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
Slope formula:
Given points: (3, -7), (7, 2)
(3, -7) = (x1, y1)
(7, 2) = (x2, y2)
To write the equation in slope-intercept form, we need to find the slope(m) and the y-intercept(b) of the equation.
First, let's find the slope. To do this, input the given points into the slope formula:
Simplify:
2 - (-7) = 2 + 7 = 9
7 - 3 = 4
The slope is .
To find the y-intercept, input the slope and one of the given points(in this example I'll use point (7, 2)) into the equation and solve for b:
The y-intercept is .
Now that we know the slope and the y-intercept, we can write the equation:
Answer:
A ≈ 119.7°, b ≈ 25.7, C ≈ 24.3°
Step-by-step explanation:
A suitable app or calculator does this easily. (Since you're asking here, you're obviously not unwilling to use technology to help.)

Given two sides and the included angle, the Law of Cosines can help you find the third side.
... b² = a² + c² - 2ac·cos(B)
... b² = 38² + 18² -2·38·18·cos(36°) ≈ 661.26475
... b ≈ 25.715
Then the Law of Sines can help you find the other angles. It can work well to find the smaller angle first (the one opposite the shortest side). That way, you can tell if the larger angle is obtuse or acute.
... sin(C)/c = sin(B)/b
... C = arcsin(c/b·sin(B)) ≈ 24.29515°
This angle and angle B add to less than 90°, so the remaining angle is obtuse. (∠A can also be found as 180° - ∠B - ∠C.)
... A = arcsin(a/b·sin(B)) ≈ 119.70485°
