To negatives equal a positive. Convert both of the mixed numbers into a improper fraction. Cross simplify 5 and 5, they both turn into one’s. Multiply and you should get 7/3 or 2 1/3.
Do you recognize that the hypotenuse here has the length 22 and that the opposite side is the unknown (x)? The angle is 21 degrees.
This is a perfect application of the tangent function:
tan 21 deg = opp / adj = opp / 22 = x / 22
tan 21 deg = 0.384 so x would be 22 tan 21 deg, or
x = 22*(0.384)
= 8.45 (answer)

Answer:
- slope = 3/2
- y-intercept = 3
- x-intercept = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is the coefficient of x when the equation is of the form ...
y = (something).
Here, we can put the equation in that form by subtracting 12x and dividing by the coefficient of y:
12x -8y = -24 . . . . . given
-8y = -12x -24 . . . . .subtract 12x
y = 3/2x +3 . . . . . . . divide by -8
This is the "slope-intercept" form of the equation. Generically, it is written ...
y = mx + b . . . . . . where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
So, the above equation answers two of your questions:
slope = 3/2
y-intercept = 3
__
The x-intercept is found fairly easily from the original equation by setting y=0:
12x = -24
x = -24/12 = -2 . . . . . the x-intercept
_____
A graph of the equation can also show you these things. The graph shows a rise of 3 units for a run of 2, so the slope is rise/run = 3/2. The line crosses the axes at x=-2 and y=3, the intercepts.
