Answer:

$y=-\frac{2}{5}x +8.4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Gradient

$m =\frac{y-y1}{x-x1}$

$m = \frac{6-4}{3-8}$

$m=-\frac{2}{5}$

Equation of a line

$(y-y1)=m(x-x1)\\$

- Sub one set of points into equation

$(y-6)= -\frac{2}{5} (x-6)$

$y=-\frac{2}{5}x +8.4$

How many five-digit codes can be made if the first number cannot be a 0 or a 1 and no numbers can repeat?

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

24,192.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first number must be one of 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 or 9. That is 8 possibilities.

The number of permutations of the other 4 numbers is 9P4

= 9! / (9-4)!

= 3024

Now we multiply by the 8:

3024 * 8

= 24,192.

In the triangle shown we can find the angle θ as follows calculator

Xelga [282]

Given a right triangle with hypothenus of measure 34, the side opposite the angle θ of measure 30, and the side adjacent the angle theta of measure 16.

$\sin\theta= \frac{opposite}{hypothenuse} = \frac{30}{34} = \frac{15}{17} \\ \\ \Rightarrow \theta=\sin^{-1}\left( \frac{15}{17} \right) \\ \\ \\ \cos\theta= \frac{adjacent}{hypothenuse} = \frac{16}{34} = \frac{8}{17} \\ \\ \Rightarrow \theta=\cos^{-1}\left( \frac{8}{17} \right) \\ \\ \\ \tan\theta= \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{30}{16} = \frac{15}{8} \\ \\ \Rightarrow \theta=\cos^{-1}\left( \frac{15}{8} \right)$
