You can use this formula: (y1 - y2) / (x1-x2)
For example, using question 5,
(-11-16)/ [-6-(-20)]
= -17/14
Given that it is a negative number, it would mean that the line is downward-sloping.
All the best!
Answer:
37.8579
This value is approximate and rounded to four decimal places
===============================================
Explanation:
The tangent function is being applied to some unknown angle x. To isolate x, we undo whatever tangent is doing. So we apply the inverse function. Specifically the inverse tangent function. This is also known as "arctangent" and your calculator most likely shows it as a button with a "-1" exponent above the "tan"
So apply the arctangent to both sides to get
tan(x) = 0.7773
arctan(tan(x)) = arctan(0.7773)
x = 37.8579
15 × h
h= per hour
and to solve how many hours it would take:
600= 15 × h
600÷ 15 = 40
so it would take 40 hours to rise to the surface
The way to do this is to set up a 30 degree angle in a coordinate plane in the first quadrant. I say the first quadrant since the first quadrant goes from 0 to 90 degrees and 30 falls right in that interval. Using the positive x-axis as the initial ray of the 30 degree angle and the terminal ray of the angle as the hypotenuse of a right triangle, if we drop a height from the end of the terminal ray to the x-axis we have formed said right triangle. The angle at the origin is the 30 degree angle. According to the Pythagorean triple for a 30-60-90 triangle, the side across from the 30 degree angle measures 1, which is the height of our triangle. The side across from the 60 degree angle is square root of 3, which is the base of our triangle, and the hypotenuse is 2. The cos identity is the ratio that utilizes the side adjacent to the reference angle over the hypotenuse, which for us is

. That's the third choice down. Finding an "exact" value means that they want you to NOT express your answer in decimal form.
Answer:
(-2, 6.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Wayne can follow the line from (-2, 0) up to where it crosses the graphed line. The crossing point is approximately halfway between 6 and 7 on the graph, so can be considered to be 6.5.
If we put x=-2 into the equation and evaluate, we get ...
... y = (-3/4)(-2) +5 = 6/4 +5 = (1 1/2) +5 = 6 1/2
Thus the solution is (-2, 6 1/2).
