You need to multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 3/4. The reciprocal is 4/3 and 4/3 multiplied by 9 = 12. So x = 12 because a number times the reciprocal is one.
Answer:
y ≈ 32.0°
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangle is right use the sine ratio to find y
sin y =
=
, thus
y =
(
) ≈ 32.0° ( nearest tenth )
Sin x = cos y
Angles x and y a complementary.
Sine and cosine are co-functions.
sin x = cos (90 - x)
sin x = cos y
First I chose two points on the line that fall on 2 intervals or 2 lines. Then if found the slope of the two points. Using the slope and one of the points I pugged the numbers into an equation to solve for b. Once I found b I wrote an equation using b and the slope.
y=-2/3+300
steps:
(250,200)(300,100)
100-200/300-150
-100/150 or -2/3
100=-2/3(300)+b
100=-200+b
300=b
y=-2/3b+300
