Answer:

the desired equation is y = (2/3)x - 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

As we go from (1/2, -1/3) to (2,2/3), x increases by 3/2 and y increases by 1.  Hence, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = 1/(3/2), or 2/3.

Use the slope-intercept form of the equation of a straight line, y = mx + b:

Substituting 2/3 for y, 2 for x and 2/3 for m, we get:

2/3  = 2(2/3) + b.

Clear out the fractions by multiplying all three terms by 3:

2 = 4 + 3b, or -2 = 3b, or b = -2/3.

Then the desired equation is y = (2/3)x - 2/3

Evaluate cos(sin^-1a)
stira [4]

Answer:

(√1 - a²)

Step-by-step explanation:

cos(sin⁻¹ a) = cos x°

sin x° = sin (sin⁻¹ a) = a

as shown in the attached picture

sin x° = a/1         cos x° = (√1 - a²) / 1 = (√1 - a²)

Given: △KLM, LM=20 3
egoroff_w [7]

Split the triangle into a 30-60-90 triangle. Since you have LM from that triangle, you can figure out the other sides. Then, using the leg from that triangle, the one next to it is a 45-45-90 triangle, meaning it's isosceles.

KM = 30 + 10√3

KL = 10√6

(sorry i'm not too sure if my "reasons" for statement/reason is correct)
