Answer:


First we calculate the slope (which is called "m".


Slope = m = (Y2 -Y1) ÷ (X2 -X1)


m = (-8 -1) / (5 -2) = -9 / 3 = -3


We next fill in this equation: b = y -mx


We know m = -3 and we can choose a point (2, 1) to calculate "b"


b = 1 --3 * 2 b = 7


Putting this into y = mx +b


y = -3x +7

A first number plus twice a second number is 11. Twice the first number plus the second totals 16. Find the numbers.
satela [25.4K]
<h3><u>The first number, x, is equal to 7.</u></h3><h3><u>The second number, y, is equal to 2.</u></h3>

x + 2y = 11

2x + y = 16

We can subtract 2y from both sides of the first equation to get a value for x.

x = 11 - 2y

Because we have a value for x, we can plug it into the second equation.

2(11 - 2y) + y = 16

Distributive property.

22 - 4y + y = 16

Combine like terms.

22 - 3y = 16

Subtract 22 from both sides.

-3y = -6

Divide both sides by -3.

y = 2

Now that we have a value for y, we can plug it into either equation to solve for x.

x + 2(2) = 11

x + 4 = 11

Subtract 4 from both sides.

x = 7

Pls help question is on picture
brilliants [131]

Answer:

9/15 = 3/5 (simplified)

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right triangle, the cosine is the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse:

\cos\theta = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}

The adjacent side is the side that makes up the angle but is not the hypotenuse.

I'm assuming the answer box should ask for cos(theta) rather than cos(x).
