Answer:

The equation of the line is

2y=x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a straight line graph.

And general equation of a straight is given by

y=mx+c

Where m is slope

c is the intercept on y axis at x=0

So at y=0, x=8. This is from the graph.

And inserting this value of y and x into the straight line equation

y=mx+c

0=-8m+c

Therefore, c=8m. Equation 1

Taking another point on the graph

at=0, y=4

Also, inserting this value of y and x into the straight line equation

4=0×x+c

4=0+c

Therefore, c=4.

Therefore the intercept is 4

From equation 1

c=8m c=4

Then m=c/8

m=4/8

m=1/2

Then the equations of then line is

y=mx+c

y=(1/2)x+4

Multiply through by 2

2y=x+8

The equation of the line is

2y=x+8

5x+6y=7 need to find the slope intercept and standard form

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

The problem is already in standard form but to get it into slope intercept form you rewrite the equation so it looks like
6y=-5x+7 divide all by 6
y=-5/6x+7/6
slope being -5/6 and b being 7/6

Kyla is hiking. She comes to this marker at a fork in the trail. Which of these gives the same distance to Cascade Falls? A 0.35

bija089 [108]

Answer:

Option B

3.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the picture attached, the distance to Cascade Falls is written in mixed fraction and the question wants it expressed in decimal. $\frac {1}{2}$ is same as 1 divided by 2 which is 0.5 hence the fall is 3+0.5=3.5 miles

Given sin(−θ)=−1/6 and tanθ=−√35/35 What is the value of cosθ?

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

$cos(\theta)=-\frac{\sqrt{35} }{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall the negative angle identity for the sine function:

$sin(- \theta)=-sin(\theta)$

Then, we can find the value of $sin(\theta)$ :

$sin(\theta)=-sin(-\theta)\\sin(\theta) =-(-\frac{1}{6} )\\sin(\theta)= \frac{1}{6}$

Now recall the definition of the tangent function:

$tan(\theta)=\frac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}$

Therefore, now that we know the value of $sin(\theta)$ , we can solve in this equation for $cos(\theta)$

$tan(\theta)=\frac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}\\-\frac{\sqrt{35} }{35} =\frac{1/6}{cos(\theta)} \\cos(\theta)=-\frac{\frac{1}{6} }{\frac{\sqrt{35} }{35} } \\cos(\theta)=-\frac{35}{6\,\sqrt{35} } \\cos(\theta)=-\frac{\sqrt{35} }{6}$

F(x) = cot x PRE CALC HELP PLS?!

alisha [4.7K]

Check the picture below.

is it even? well, even functions use the y-axis as a mirror, so a pre-image on the right-side, will be a mirror of the image on the left-side, but in this case it isn't so, if you put a mirror right on the y-axis, the left-side will look a bit different.

does it have a zero at x = 0? well, just look at the graph, is the line touching the x-axis at 0? nope.

does it have an asymptote at 0? well, surely you can see it right there.
