Answer:

y = $\frac{1}{2}$ x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

To calculate m use the slope formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 22, - 14) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 18, - 12)

m = $\frac{-12+14}{-18+22}$ = $\frac{2}{4}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$

y = $\frac{1}{2}$ x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (- 22, - 14), then

- 14 = - 11 + c ⇒ c = - 14 + 11 = - 3

y = $\frac{1}{2}$ x - 3 ← in slope- intercept form

Use the Law of Cosines to find the missing angle. In triangle JKL, j=3in., k=4in., and l=2.89., find mJ

slega [8]

Using the law of cosine for Triangle KJL, we can write:

$j^{2} = k^{2} + l^{2}-2(k)(l)cos(J) \\ \\ 
2(k)(l)cos(J)=k^{2} + l^{2}- j^{2} \\ \\ 
cos(J)= \frac{k^{2} + l^{2}- j^{2}}{2(k)(l)}$

Using the values of k,j and l, we can write:

$cos(J)= \frac{ 4^{2} + (2.89)^{2} - 3^{2} }{2(4)(2.89)} \\ \\ 
cos(J)= 0.664 \\ \\ 
J= cos^{-1}(0.664) \\ \\ 
J=48.39$

Rounding to nearest integer, the measure of angle J will be 48 degrees.
So option B gives the correct answer

Turn both fractions into mixed fractions resulting in 75/2 and 5/2. Then turn them into decimals. 75/2= 37.5 and 5/2= 2.5. Then divide each other 37.5 / 2.5= 15. 15 is your answer. Hope it helped :)

A. Draw the image of ΔDEF after a rotation of 90° clockwise about the point (1,0). Label the image ΔD’E’F’.

irina [24]

Answer:

see the attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Clockwise rotation moves a point from (x, y) to (y, -x).

(b) Reflection across x=1 moves a point from (x, y) to (2-x, y).
