Determine the equation of a line through the point (3,-4) that is perpendicular to the line y=3x+7

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept fprm is

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

y = 3x + 7 is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{3}, thus

y = - \frac{1}{3} x + c ← is the partial equation of the perpendicular line

To find c substitute (3, - 4) into the partial equation

- 4 = - 1 + c ⇒ c = - 4 + 1 = - 3

y = - \frac{1}{3} x - 3 ← equation of perpendicular line

Show that the following statement is an identity by transforming the left side into the right side. sin θ (sec θ + csc θ) = tan
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Required to prove that:

Sin θ(Sec θ + Cosec θ)= tan θ+1

Steps:

Recall sec θ= 1/cos θ and cosec θ=1/sin θ

Substitution into the Left Hand Side gives:

Sin θ(Sec θ + Cosec θ)

= Sin θ(1/cos θ  + 1/sinθ )

Expanding the Brackets

=sinθ/cos θ + sinθ/sinθ

=tanθ+1 which is the Right Hand Side as required.

Note that from trigonometry sinθ/cosθ = tan θ
