\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta=1\implies \cos\theta=\pm\sqrt{1-\sin^2\theta}

Since \sin\theta=-\dfrac8{17}, it follows that

\cos\theta=\pm\sqrt{1-\dfrac{64}{289}}=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{225}{289}}=\pm\dfrac{15}{17}

where the sign depends on the location of the terminal side of the angle. Since the terminal side lies in the fourth quadrant, that means the cosine of the angle is positive, so

\cos\theta=\dfrac{15}{17}

What is the solution of the system? Use elimination.
Anit [1.1K]
Note that if we add each side of the 2 equations, y will cancel out:

-12x-y+(17x+y)=6+4

5x=10

x=2


Substituting x=2 in either of the equations, we find the value of y.

Let's use the first equation:

-12x-y=6

-24-y=6

-y=24+6

-y=30, so y=-30.

Thus, the solution is (2, -30)
