<h2>Answer:</h2>

The number of solutions will be one.

( i.e. the system of equation has a unique solution )

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We are given a system of equations such that:

One of the equation has a negative reciprocal slope as compared to the other.

This means that the two lines are perpendicular.

Hence, the two lines will definitely meet or intersect at just one point and at right angles.

Also we know that the solutions of a system of linear equations are the points where the two lines intersect.

Hence, we will have just one solution.

( since here the two lines will intersect at just one point )

Determine whether the origin is included in the shaded region and whether the shaded region is above or below the line for the g

just olya [345]

Answer:

The correct option is

The origin is included in the shaded region and the shaded area is below the line.

Step-by-step explanation:

Y>3/2x + 2

Put x=0

Y= 2

(0,2)

Put y=0

X= -4/3

(-4/3,0)

Given that sin0=21/29 what is the value cos 0 for 0°< 0<90°

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

20/29

Step-by-step explanation:

sin θ = 21/29

Use Pythagorean identity:

sin² θ + cos² θ = 1

(21/29)² + cos² θ = 1

441/841 + cos² θ = 1

cos² θ = 400/841

cos θ = ±20/29

Since 0° < θ < 90°, cos θ > 0. So cos θ = 20/29.
