Answer:

"a" must be negative

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope between points (-1, 1) and (1, -1) is a minimum of (-1-1)/(1-(-1)) = -1.

The slope between points (1, -1 and (3, -4) is a maximum of (-4-(-1))/(3-1) = -3/2.

Thus, as x increases, the slope is decreasing. In order for that to be the case, the value of a must satisfy a < 0.

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

csc = 5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the two given points 3/5 and 4/5 are the two sides of a triangle and a right angle 0 with legs x and y and z as its hypotenuse.

Then using Pythagoras Theorem:

$z^2=x^2+y^2$

$z^2=(\frac{3}{5} )^2+(\frac{4}{5} )^2$

$z^2 = \frac{9}{25} + \frac{16}{25}$

$z^2=\frac{25}{25}$

$z^2=1$

Taking square root on both the sides:

$z=1$

Now, $sin\alpha=\frac{4}{5}$

and we know that $csc = \frac{1}{sin\alpha }$

Therefore, csc = 5/4.
