Answer:

y - 7 = 3(x + 3)  and  y = 3x + 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope first:

As we go from (–3, 7) to (1, –5), x increases by 4 and y increases by 12.  Hence, the slope is m = rise / run = 12 / 4, or m = 3.

Next, modify the point-slope form y - k = m(x - h) by inserting the given info:

                                                        y - 7 = 3(x -[-3]), or

                                                         y - 7 = 3(x + 3)

Note:  (h, k) represents the given point, which I have chosen to be (-3, 7).

Next, convert this result to slope-intercept form.  Begin by solving this equation for y:  y = 7 = 3x + 9, or:

y = 3x + 16

In right triangle ABC, if angle A is 90 degrees, angle C is 34 degrees, and AC is 71.4, find BC.
AURORKA [14]

We are given that

In right triangle ABC, if angle A is 90 degrees, angle C is 34 degrees, and AC is 71.4, find BC.

Solution

We will first draw a diagram to illustrate the information

Above we want to find x

The method to use is SOHCAH

From the right angle triangle above we have above, we have the adjacent side and we want to find the hypotenus, so we use cosine

i.e

\cos 34=\frac{71.4}{x}

We need to solve for x here

\begin{gathered} x=\frac{71.4}{\cos 34} \\ x=86.12396152 \\ x=86.1\text{ (to the nearest tenth)} \end{gathered}

Thus, |BC| = 86.1 (to the nearest tenth

Solve for z<br> 3z-5+2z=25-5z
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

z=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 3z and 2z

5z-5=25-5z

Add 5z on both sides to eliminate the -5z on the RHS

10z-5=25

Add 5 on both sides to eliminate the -5 on the LHS

10z=30

Divide by 10

z=3

Hope this helps!

The external angle of a regular polygon is 200 . How many sides does it have ? What is the measure of each interior angle? What
Zanzabum

Answer:

An 18 sided shape.

Since the sum of the exterior angles of a polygon is 360° and an angle of the regular polygon is 20°, then 360° / 20° is the number of sides. We find the answer = 18, an octadecagon
