<span>perpendicular slope :

m1 * m2 = -1

1/2 * m2 = -1

m2 = -2

y = -2x + b

2 = -4 +b

b = 6

y = -2x + 6

If sine ⁡theta equals negative 8/17 and the terminal side of theta lies in quadrant IV, find cosine ⁡ theta .

Lelechka [254]

$\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta=1\implies \cos\theta=\pm\sqrt{1-\sin^2\theta}$

Since $\sin\theta=-\dfrac8{17}$ , it follows that

$\cos\theta=\pm\sqrt{1-\dfrac{64}{289}}=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{225}{289}}=\pm\dfrac{15}{17}$

where the sign depends on the location of the terminal side of the angle. Since the terminal side lies in the fourth quadrant, that means the cosine of the angle is positive, so

$\cos\theta=\dfrac{15}{17}$

The width of the figure below is 5 units. The perimeter of the figure is 18 units. What is the length of the figure in units?

Talja [164]

The perimeter is all sides length added together. You can make an equation:5+5+x+x where x is the length.
5+5=10 18-10=8 There is two sides so you do eight divided by two
The length is 4

Answer:

$(-\frac{50}{13},-\frac{12}{13})$

Step-by-step explanation:

To start, you need to find the equation of both of these lines. For the orange one, the slope can be found with the points (-5,0) and (0,-4), where there is a drop of 4 for a run of 5. This is a slope of -4/5, and a y-intercept of -4. For the purple line, you can use the points (-2,0) and (0,1), where there is a rise of 1 for a run of 2 or a slope of 1/2 and a y intercept of 1. Therefore, the two equations are:

$y=-\frac{4}{5}x-4$
