Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is in slope intercept form:

y=Mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the t intercept

Compare y=Mx+b to the equation y=-1/2x-5

-1/2 is being multiplied by x, so it is the slope.

What is the measure of angle A?

fgiga [73]

Answer:

∠A=65º

Step-by-step explanation:

A angle of a line is 180º, so we can say that angle ABC=(180-6x)º
The interior angkes of a triangle is 180º, so (x+40)º+(3x+10)º+(180-6x)º=180º
Remove parenthesis, x+40+3x+10+180-6x=180
Combine like terms, -2x+230=180
Subtract 180, -2x=-50
Divide by -2, so x=25

Now:

∠CAB=(25+40)º=65º
∠ABC=[180-6(25)]º=30º
∠BCA=[3(25)+10]=85º

According to this diagram what is tan 62

kicyunya [14]

The figure is not attached. So, I have attached it from the link- brainly.com/question/4198293

Answer:

$\tan(62)=1.875$

Step-by-step explanation:

Label the triangle ABC as shown below.

Given:

AB = 8, BC = 15, AC = 17, m∠ABC = 90°, m∠ACB = 28°, m∠BAC = 62°

The tangent of a given angle is given as the ratio of the opposite side and the adjacent side. The opposite side is the side opposite to the angle. The adjacent side is the other leg of the right angled triangle.

Here, the opposite side to angle A is BC and adjacent side is AB.

Therefore, the tan ratio of angle A is given as:

$\tan A=\frac{BC}{AB}\\\tan (62)=\frac{15}{8}=1.875$

Hence, tan 62 = 1.875.
