Answer:

y = - \frac{24}{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the quantities vary inversely then the equation relating them is

y = \frac{k}{x} ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition x = 4 when y = - 6

k = yx = - 6 × 4 = - 24

y = - \frac{24}{x} ← equation of variation

_______________


Let  \mathsf{\theta=cos^{-1}\!\left(\dfrac{4}{5}\right).}


\mathsf{0\le \theta\le\pi,}  because that is the range of the inverse cosine funcition.


Also,

\mathsf{cos\,\theta=cos\!\left[cos^{-1}\!\left(\dfrac{4}{5}\right)\right]}\\\\\\
\mathsf{cos\,\theta=\dfrac{4}{5}}\\\\\\ \mathsf{5\,cos\,\theta=4}


Square both sides and apply the fundamental trigonometric identity:

\mathsf{(5\,cos\,\theta)^2=4^2}\\\\
\mathsf{5^2\,cos^2\,\theta=4^2}\\\\
\mathsf{25\,cos^2\,\theta=16\qquad\qquad(but,~cos^2\,\theta=1-sin^2\,\theta)}\\\\
\mathsf{25\cdot (1-sin^2\,\theta)=16}

\mathsf{25-25\,sin^2\,\theta=16}\\\\
\mathsf{25-16=25\,sin^2\,\theta}\\\\
\mathsf{9=25\,sin^2\,\theta}\\\\
\mathsf{sin^2\,\theta=\dfrac{9}{25}}


\mathsf{sin\,\theta=\pm\,\sqrt{\dfrac{9}{25}}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{sin\,\theta=\pm\,\sqrt{\dfrac{3^2}{5^2}}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{sin\,\theta=\pm\,\dfrac{3}{5}}


But \mathsf{0\le \theta\le\pi,} which means \theta lies either in the 1st or the 2nd quadrant. So \mathsf{sin\,\theta} is a positive number:

\mathsf{sin\,\theta=\dfrac{3}{5}}\\\\\\
\therefore~~\mathsf{sin\!\left[cos^{-1}\!\left(\dfrac{4}{5}\right)\right]=\dfrac{3}{5}\qquad\quad\checkmark}


I hope this helps. =)

What is the equation of the line that passes through (4, -1) and (-2, 3)?
inessss [21]
(4,-1),(-2,3)
slope = (3 - (-1) / (-2 - 4) = -4/6 = -2/3

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -2/3
use either of ur points...(4,-1)...x = 4 and y = -1
now sub into the formula and find b, the y int
-1 = -2/3(4) + b
-1 = -8/3 + b
-1 + 8/3 = b
-3/3 + 8/3 = b
5/3 = b
so ur equation is : y = -2/3x + 5/3
