Answer:

y = (3/4)x

Step-by-step explanation:

1)  Find the slope of the line.  As we go from ( -8,-6) to (12,9), x increases by 20 and y increases by 15.  Thus, the slope, m, is m = rise / run = 15/20 = 3/4

2) Recognize that the y-intercept is zero (0) because this is direct variation; the line goes thru the origin.

3) write the equation of the line:  y = mx + b becomes y = (3/4)x

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-8}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-6})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{12}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{9}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{9-(-6)}{12-(-8)}\implies \cfrac{9+6}{12+8}\implies \cfrac{15}{20}\implies \cfrac{3}{4}

\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-(-6)=\cfrac{3}{4}[x-(-8)]\implies y+6=\cfrac{3}{4}(x+8) \\\\\\ y+6=\cfrac{3}{4}x+6\implies y=\cfrac{3}{4}x

What is the sum of ? <br><br>I will put a pic if the answer is correct ill mark brainlist

\text{The sum of } 1\frac{7}{10}  \text{ and } 3\frac{3}{5} \text{ is } 5\frac{3}{10}

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that we have to find the sum of 1\frac{7}{10} \text{ and } 3\frac{3}{5}

<em><u>Let us first convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions</u></em>

Multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator.

Add that to the numerator.

Then write the result on top of the denominator

Therefore,

1\frac{7}{10} = \frac{10 \times 1 + 7}{10} = \frac{10+7}{10} = \frac{17}{10}\\\\3\frac{3}{5} = \frac{5 \times 3 + 3}{5} = \frac{18}{5}

Now we can add both the fractions

1\frac{7}{10} + 3\frac{3}{5} = \frac{17}{10} + \frac{18}{5}

Make the denominators same

1\frac{7}{10} + 3\frac{3}{5} = \frac{17}{10} + \frac{18 \times 2}{5 \times 2}\\\\1\frac{7}{10} + 3\frac{3}{5} = \frac{17}{10} + \frac{36}{10}\\\\\text{Add the fractions since the denominator is same }\\\\1\frac{7}{10} + 3\frac{3}{5} = \frac{17+36}{10} = \frac{53}{10}

Now convert the fraction to mixed number

When we divide 53 by 10 , the remainder is 3

Therefore, write 5 as a whole number and and 3 as numerator and 10 as denominator

\frac{53}{10} = 5\frac{3}{10}

Thus the sum of given mixed fraction is 5\frac{3}{10}

Hypotenuse = 21

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Substitute [tangent]:                    tanx° = 10/21
  2. Inverse trig:                                  x° = tan⁻¹(10/21)
  3. Evaluate:                                      x = 25.4633°
  4. Round:                                          x ≈ 25.5°
