Slope =change of y over change of x

(2, −5) and (4, 1)

M= 1-(-5)/4-2

M=6/2

M=3

So the slope is 3.

If you need the equation

Y=mx+b

(4, 1)

1= 3(4)+b

1=12+b

1-12=b

-11=b

So equation

Y=3x-11

Han and Tyler are following a polenta recipe that uses 5 cups of water for every 2 cups of cornmeal.

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 5 cups of cornmeal=2 cups of water. Using 115 cups of cormeal would mean you need 287.5 cups of water, not 3.

3 is too little

2: If you use 5 cups of water for every 3 cups of cornmeal, for 3 cups of cornmeal you'd need like 6.5 cups of water, not that high of a number.

Given right triangle MNL what is the value of cos(M)?

FromTheMoon [43]

Step $1$

<u>Find the length of the side MN</u>

we know that

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$ML^{2} =NL^{2} +MN^{2}$

Solve for MN

$MN^{2}=ML^{2} -NL^{2}$

in this problem

$ML=25\ units\\ NL=15\ units$

Substitute in the formula above

$MN^{2}=25^{2} -15^{2}$

$MN^{2}=400$

$MN=20\ units$

Step $2$

<u>Find the value of cos (M)</u>

we know that

in the right triangle MNL

$cos (M)=\frac{adjacent\ side\ angle\ M}{hypotenuse}$

$adjacent\ side\ angle\ M=MN=20\ units\\ hypotenuse=ML=25\ units$

Substitute

$cos (M)=\frac{20}{25}$

$cos (M)=\frac{4}{5}$

$cos (M)=0.8$

therefore

The answer is

The value of cos(M) is equal to $0.8$
