Answer:

4x - 3y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's review what "standard form" signifies: Ax + By = C.

Starting with y = 4/3 * x - 2/3, multiply all three terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions:

3y = 4x - 2

Next, subtract 3y from both sides:

0 = 4x - 3y - 2.

It would be nice (tho' not essential) to have the coefficient of x positive. That is why I've left 4x on the right side and subtracted 3y from both sides.

finally, add 2 to both sides, obtaining 4x - 3y = 2. This is the equation in standard form.

Two lighthouses are located 75 miles from one another on a north-south line. If a boat is spotted S 40o E from the northern ligh

yuradex [85]

Answer:

The northern lighthouse is approximately $24.4\; \rm mi$ closer to the boat than the southern lighthouse.

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to the diagram attached. Denote the northern lighthouse as $\rm N$ , the southern lighthouse as $\rm S$ , and the boat as $\rm B$ . These three points would form a triangle.

It is given that two of the angles of this triangle measure $40^{\circ}$ (northern lighthouse, $\angle {\rm N}$ ) and $21^{\circ}$ (southern lighthouse $\angle {\rm S}$ ), respectively. The three angles of any triangle add up to $180^{\circ}$ . Therefore, the third angle of this triangle would measure $180^{\circ} - (40^{\circ} + 21^{\circ}) = 119^{\circ}$ (boat $\angle {\rm B}$ .)

It is also given that the length between the two lighthouses (length of $\rm NS$ ) is $75\; \rm mi$ .

By the law of sine, the length of a side in a given triangle would be proportional to the angle opposite to that side. For example, in the triangle in this question, $\angle {\rm B}$ is opposite to side $\rm NS$ , whereas $\angle {\rm S}$ is opposite to side ${\rm NB}$ . Therefore:

$\begin{aligned} \frac{\text{length of NS}}{\sin(\angle {\rm B})} = \frac{\text{length of NB}}{\sin(\angle {\rm S})} \end{aligned}$ .

Substitute in the known measurements:

$\begin{aligned} \frac{75\; \rm mi}{\sin(119^{\circ})} = \frac{\text{length of NB}}{\sin(21^{\circ})} \end{aligned}$ .

Rearrange and solve for the length of $\rm NB$ :

$\begin{aligned} & \text{length of NB} \\ =\; & (75\; \rm mi) \times \frac{\sin(21^{\circ})}{\sin(119^{\circ})} \\ \approx\; & 30.73\; \rm mi\end{aligned}$ .

(Round to at least one more decimal places than the values in the choices.)

Likewise, with $\angle {\rm N}$ is opposite to side ${\rm SB}$ , the following would also hold:

$\begin{aligned} \frac{\text{length of NS}}{\sin(\angle {\rm B})} = \frac{\text{length of SB}}{\sin(\angle {\rm N})} \end{aligned}$ .

$\begin{aligned} \frac{75\; \rm mi}{\sin(119^{\circ})} = \frac{\text{length of SB}}{\sin(40^{\circ})} \end{aligned}$ .

$\begin{aligned} & \text{length of SB} \\ =\; & (75\; \rm mi) \times \frac{\sin(40^{\circ})}{\sin(119^{\circ})} \\ \approx\; & 55.12\; \rm mi\end{aligned}$ .

In other words, the distance between the northern lighthouse and the boat is approximately $30.73\; \rm mi$ , whereas the distance between the southern lighthouse and the boat is approximately $55.12\; \rm mi$ . Hence the conclusion.

Write an equation in standard form using integers <br><br> Y= - x<br> —<br> 5

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

x + y = - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in standard form is

Ax + By = C ( A is a positive integer and B, C are integers )

Given

y = - x - 5 ( add x to both sides )

x + y = - 5 ← in standard form
