Answer:

y = -x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

If you know the slope and a point on the line, then you can find the equation with an equation:

(y - y1) = m (x - x1)

We have our slope, -1; we have a x1, -2, and a y1, 4, so we're all set to find the equation. Plug in the numbers:

y - 4 = -1 ( x + 2 )

y - 4 = -x - 2

y = -x + 2

Our equation is y = -x + 2

What is the equation of a line that passes through (7, 8) and has a slope of -3?

Luda [366]

Using point-slope form,
(y-8)= 7(x-8)

y = 7x - 56 + 8
y = 7x -48
0r
7x -y = 48

Consider the right triangle with hypotenuse 5, horizontal leg x , vertical leg y , and angle ∅ opposite y. How can we view x as

Answer:

x = √(25 -y²)
x = 5cos(Ф)

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem relates the sides of a right triangle.

x² + y² = 5²

x² = 25 -y²

x = √(25 -y²)

The cosine function relates the adjacent side and the hypotenuse of an acute angle in a right triangle.

Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

Adjacent = Hypotenuse × Cos

x = 5·cos(Ф)
