$-7+2(x-3)\\use\ distributive\ property:a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\-7+2(x)+2(-3)=-7+2x-6\\use\ commutative\ property:a+b=b+a\\\\2x+(-7)+(-6)=\boxed{2x-13}\to\boxed{D}$

Please help! what is y+7=-1/7(x+4) in slope intercept form?

Stells [14]

We know that
the equation of a line in slope intercept form is--------------> y=mx+b
where
m-----------> is the slope
b-----------> is the y-intercept point when x=0

y+7=-1/7(x+4)---------> y+7=(-1/7)x-4/7
y+7=(-1/7)x-4/7------> y=(-1/7)x-4/7-7------> y=(-1/7)x-(53/7)

the answer is
y=(-1/7)x-(53/7)-------------> this is the equation of a line in slope intercept form
m=(-1/7)=-0.14
b=(-53/7)=-7.57
y=-0.14x-7.57

see the attached figure

1 2. Verify that (1 - cos^20) CSc^20 = (4 Points)

dolphi86 [110]

(1-cos^2(x)) csc^2(x)=1

one of the trigonometry rules is sin^2(x) + cos^2(x) = 1 if you rearrange this you realize that sin^2= 1-cos^2(x)

we also know that csc^2(x)= 1/sin^2(x) so now you can rewrite your equation as:

sin^2(x) x 1/sin^2(x) = 1

sin^2(x)/sin^2(x) =1

the LHS (left hand side) can cancel down to 1 because the numerator and denominator are the same

so then 1=1 Therefore LHS=RHS

Hope this helps
