it equals <span>(−<span>12</span>)</span> because <span><span>cos<span>(<span>60∘</span>)</span></span>=<span>12</span></span>

Explanation:

The reference angle for <span>240∘</span> is <span>60∘</span> (since <span><span>240∘</span>=<span>180∘</span>+<span>60∘</span></span>)

<span>60∘</span> is an angle of one of the standard triangles with 
<span><span>cos<span>(<span>60∘</span>)</span></span>=<span>12</span></span>

<span>240∘</span> is in the 3rd quadrant so (either by CAST or noting that the "x-side" of the associate triangle is negative)
<span><span>cos<span>(<span>240∘</span>)</span></span>=−<span>cos<span>(<span>60∘</span>)</span></span></span>

<span><span>cos<span>(<span>240∘</span>)</span></span>=−<span><span>12</span></span></span>

Which equation(s)
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

C) y = 12 x Represents the proportional  relationship.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two quantities P and Q are said to be proportional if and only if:

P \propto Q \implies  P  =  k Y

Here: K = Proportionality Constant

Now, here the given expression are:

1. y =  7 x^2\\\implies y \neq kx

So, y is NOT PROPORTIONAL to x.

2. y = 2 + 3x\\\implies y \neq kx

So, y is NOT PROPORTIONAL to x.

3. y = 12 x\\\implies y = kx, k = 12

So, y is  PROPORTIONAL to x.

2. y = 5 - x\\\implies y \neq kx

So, y is NOT PROPORTIONAL to x.
