Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is linear; therefore, the slope of the line joining any two points is the same.

We take any two points from the table and compute the slope or rise/ run between them— let is take points (-4, -2) and (-2, -10).

The slope $m$ of the line joining the points is

$m=\dfrac{\Delta y }{\Delta x } =\dfrac{-2-(-10)}{-4-(-2)} \\\\\boxed{m=-4}$

The slope of the function is -4.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the points (6,5) and (-7,4)?

devlian [24]

Answer:

13y= x + 59

Step-by-step explanation:

gradient= y² - y¹ / x²- x¹

=5 - 4 / 6- -7

= 1/ 13

<h3>equation of line: y=mx+c</h3>

x y

point (6,5)

substitute:

5= 1 (6) + c

c = 5 - 6

= 59

y=mx+c

13y= 1x + 59

What is cos theta when sin theta = sqrt 2/3

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

Value of cosθ is ±√7/3 .

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question , value of :

$\red{\implies sin\theta = \dfrac{\sqrt2}{3}}$

And , we know the identity of sine and cosine as ,

$\boxed{\pink{\sf\implies sin^2\theta + cos^2\theta = 1} }$

Using , this identity we have ;

$\implies sin^2\theta + cos^2\theta = 1 \\\\\implies \bigg( \dfrac{\sqrt2}{3}\bigg)^2 + cos^2\theta = 1 \\\\\implies \dfrac{2}{9} + cos^2\theta = 1 \\\\\implies cos^2\theta = 1 - \dfrac{2}{9} \\\\\implies cos^2\theta = \dfrac{9-2}{9} \\\\\implies cos\theta = \sqrt{\dfrac{7}{9}} \\\\\underline{\boxed{\blue{\bf \implies cos\theta = \pm \dfrac{\sqrt 7 }{3}}}}$

Now , here since θ is in 2nd quadrant and in 2nd quadrant cos is negative . Hence ,the value of cos will be :

$\boxed{\orange{\bf \implies cos\theta =-\dfrac{\sqrt7}{3}}}$
