Answer:

-3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope of the line using

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = ( 2-5)/(4-2)

  = -3/2

VashaNatasha [74]
There would be 100,000 if there are no restrictions on the digits and 90,000 if they cannot use 0 as the first digit.

If there are no restrictions, there are 10 possibilities for each digit:
10(10)(10)(10)(10) = 100,000

If the first digit cannot be 0, there are 9 possibilities for it and 10 possibilities for each of the other 4:
9(10)(10)(10)(10) = 90,000

Find the remaining trigonometric ratios of θ if csc(θ) = -6 and cos(θ) is positive
VikaD [51]
Now, the cosecant of θ is -6, or namely -6/1.

however, the cosecant is really the hypotenuse/opposite, but the hypotenuse is never negative, since is just a distance unit from the center of the circle, so in the fraction -6/1, the negative must be the 1, or 6/-1 then.

we know the cosine is positive, and we know the opposite side is -1, or negative, the only happens in the IV quadrant, so θ is in the IV quadrant, now

\bf csc(\theta)=-6\implies csc(\theta)=\cfrac{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{6}}{\stackrel{opposite}{-1}}\impliedby \textit{let's find the \underline{adjacent side}}
\\\\\\
\textit{using the pythagorean theorem}\\\\
c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \pm\sqrt{c^2-b^2}=a
\qquad 
\begin{cases}
c=hypotenuse\\
a=adjacent\\
b=opposite\\
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\pm\sqrt{6^2-(-1)^2}=a\implies \pm\sqrt{35}=a\implies \stackrel{IV~quadrant}{+\sqrt{35}=a}

recall that 

\bf sin(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}
\qquad\qquad 
cos(\theta)=\cfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}
\\\\\\
% tangent
tan(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent}
\qquad \qquad 
% cotangent
cot(\theta)=\cfrac{adjacent}{opposite}
\\\\\\
% cosecant
csc(\theta)=\cfrac{hypotenuse}{opposite}
\qquad \qquad 
% secant
sec(\theta)=\cfrac{hypotenuse}{adjacent}

therefore, let's just plug that on the remaining ones,

\bf sin(\theta)=\cfrac{-1}{6}
\qquad\qquad 
cos(\theta)=\cfrac{\sqrt{35}}{6}
\\\\\\
% tangent
tan(\theta)=\cfrac{-1}{\sqrt{35}}
\qquad \qquad 
% cotangent
cot(\theta)=\cfrac{\sqrt{35}}{1}
\\\\\\
sec(\theta)=\cfrac{6}{\sqrt{35}}

now, let's rationalize the denominator on tangent and secant,

\bf tan(\theta)=\cfrac{-1}{\sqrt{35}}\implies \cfrac{-1}{\sqrt{35}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{35}}{\sqrt{35}}\implies \cfrac{-\sqrt{35}}{(\sqrt{35})^2}\implies -\cfrac{\sqrt{35}}{35}
\\\\\\
sec(\theta)=\cfrac{6}{\sqrt{35}}\implies \cfrac{6}{\sqrt{35}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{35}}{\sqrt{35}}\implies \cfrac{6\sqrt{35}}{(\sqrt{35})^2}\implies \cfrac{6\sqrt{35}}{35}
