Answer:

y = 5x + 11 or -5x + y = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given line:

-5x + y = 2

In slope-intercept form:

y = 5x + 2

The parallel line has the same slope and will look as:

y = 5x + b

This line passes through the point (-2, 1), substitute:

1 = 5*(-2) + b
b = 1 + 10
b = 11

So the line is:

y = 5x + 11

-5x + y = 11

A right triangle as shown below

Answer:

sin a = 7/25

cos a = 24/25

tan a = 7/24

Step-by-step explanation:

Trig. How wonderful. I get tripped up on these types of problems some times, so I decided to try to help! To start, write out the three ratios.

SOH (sine=opposite/hypotenuse) CAH (cosine=adjacent/hypotenuse) TOA (tangent=opposite/adjacent)

Then, label the triangle with “hypotenuse” “adjacent” and “opposite.” This helps us correctly use and find the raitos. Then, use these ratios to find out the ratios of A!

sin a = 7/25

cos a = 24/25

tan a = 7/24

If needed, just divide the ratios to get their decimal form!
