Answer: m = -1

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem we're asked to find the slope of the line that contains the points (-2,5) and (6,-3).

Using our slope formula, we take the second y minus the first y which in this case is -3 - 5 over our second x minus our first x which in this case is 6 - -2.

-3 - 5 simplifies to -8 and remember that minus a negative can be thought of as plus a positive so 6 - (-2) can be thought of as 6 + (+2) which is 8.

Now we have -8/8. Notice that our slope can be simplified one step further so we have m = -1.

The variable that's used to represent slope is m.

Answer:

$\csc \left(\theta-\frac{\pi }{2}\right)=0.73$

Step-by-step explanation:

The identity you will use is:

$\csc \left(x\right)=\frac{1}{\sin \left(x\right)}$

So,

$\csc \left(\theta-\frac{\pi }{2}\right)$

$\csc \left(\theta-\frac{\pi }{2}\right)=\frac{1}{\sin \left(-\frac{\pi }{2}+\theta\right)}$

Now, using the difference of sin

Note: state that $\text{sin}(\alpha\pm \beta)=\text{sin}(\alpha) \text{cos}(\beta) \pm \text{cos}(\alpha) \text{sin}(\beta)$

$\csc \left(\theta-\frac{\pi }{2}\right)=\frac{1}{-\cos \left(\theta\right)\sin \left(\frac{\pi }{2}\right)+\cos \left(\frac{\pi }{2}\right)\sin \left(\theta\right)}$

Solving the difference of sin:

$-\cos \left(\theta\right)\sin \left(\frac{\pi }{2}\right)+\cos \left(\frac{\pi }{2}\right)\sin \left(\theta\right)$

$-\cos \left(\theta\right) \cdot 1+0\cdot \sin \left(\theta\right)$

$-\text{cos} \left(\theta\right)$

Then,

$\csc \left(\theta-\frac{\pi }{2}\right)=-\frac{1}{\cos \left(\theta\right)}$

Once

$\text{sec}(-\theta)=\text{sec}(\theta)$

And, $\text{sec}(\theta)=-0.73$

$-\frac{1}{\cos \left(\theta\right)}=-\text{sec}(\theta)$

$-\frac{1}{\cos \left(\theta\right)}=-(-0.73)$

$-\frac{1}{\cos \left(\theta\right)}=0.73$

Therefore,

$\csc \left(\theta-\frac{\pi }{2}\right)=0.73$

1.) So 1/5 of a relay, or r, is 3/4 of a mile.
1/5r = 3/4
Multiply 5 on both sides of the equation.

r = 15/4

The relay was 15/4 of a mile or 3 3/4 of a mile.

2.) No, it is not because the sum of the digits are not divisible by 3.

Hope this helps! :)
