8 0

Answer:

a = 7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - y - 5 = 0

2x = y + 5

y = 2x - 5

m = -1/2

y - 5 = -1/2(x - (-2))

y - 5 = -1/2(x + 2)

y - 5 = -x/2 - 1

y = -x/2 + 4

a = -1/2 + 4

a = 7/2

Answer:

75°

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall: SOH CAH TOA

Reference angle = ? = θ

Side length opposite to reference angle = 27

Hypotenuse length = 28

Apply SOH, which is:

$sin(\theta) = \frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse}$

Substitute

$sin(\theta) = \frac{27}{28}$

$\theta = sin^{-1}(\frac{27}{28})$

$\theta = 75 degrees$ (nearest degree)
