Since we need an angle measure we have to use an inverse trig ratio, sin^-1, cos^-1, or tan^-1.
Setting up the right triangle we have the opposite and adjacent so we use tan.
tan angle = 28/32
tan^-1 (28/32) = 41 degrees

lapo4ka [179]
2x-15=3(x-15) 
2x-15=3x-45
2x+30=3x
30=x

Let's check this work!

2(30)-15=3(30-15)
60-15=3(15)
45=45

She worked 45 hours each week

 *the reason it is 2x-15 and not 15+2x is because "more than" is considered a "turn around word" meaning it is the opposite

aniked [119]

Answer:

(in attachment)

Step-by-step explanation:

you can find the points by inputting the x-values into the equation to solve for the y-values, then connecting the plotted points to create the line.

When x=-4

y=1/2(-4)

y=-2

(-4,-2)

Repeat for all values.
