You got 9 right, because 5x -3y = 36
For you to lose points, having answered all of thee questions, to the point of which you were given 36 out of 60 possible points tells that you must have gotten over half right for points to have been taken away, and the only factors that satisfy the equation with those restrictions would determine that x must equal 9, making the amount you got right worth 45 points, but with y equal to 3, 9 points were taken away from that score, making it 36. This can also be displayed on a x versus y graph.

the answer is nine because 9times 5 equals 45 subtract 9 equals 36

Given sinθ=- 3/5 and cscθ=-5/3 in quadrant III, find the value of other trigonometric functions using a Pythagorean Identity. Sh
Yakvenalex [24]
Let ABC be a triangle in the 3rd quadrant, right-angled at B. 
 So, AB-> Perpendicular BC -> Base AC -> Hypotenuse. 
Given: sinθ=-3/5 cosecθ=-5/3 
 According to Pythagorean theorem, square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of square of the other two sides.
 Therefore in triangle ABC, 〖AC〗^2=〖AB〗^2+〖BC〗^2 ------
--(1)
 Since sinθ=Perpendicular/Hypotenuse ,
 AC=5 and AB=3
 Substituting these values in equation (1)
 
〖BC〗^2=〖AC〗^2-〖AB〗^2

 ă€–BC〗^2=5^2-3^2
 

 ă€–BC〗^2=25-9

 ă€–BC〗^2=16

 BC=4 units

 Since the triangle is in the 3rd quadrant, all trigonometric ratios, except tan
and cot are negative.
 So,cosθ=Base/Hypotenuse Cosθ=-4/5 
 secθ=Hypotnuse/Base secθ=-5/4 
 tanθ=Perpendicular/Base tanθ=3/4  
 cotθ=Base/Perpendicular cotθ=4/3
