Answer:

$m=\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(2,\:-2\right),\:\\\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(5,\:-1\right)\\\\m=\frac{-1-\left(-2\right)}{5-2}\\\\m = \frac{-1+2}{3}\\ \\Simplify\\m = \frac{1}{3}$

Use a sum or difference identity to find exact value of sin 255.

vagabundo [1.1K]

Sin (x + y) = sin x cos y + cos x sin y

sin 255 
= sin (210 + 45) 
= sin 210 cos 45 + cos 210 sin 45 
= (-1/2)(√(2)/2) + (-√(3)/2)(√(2)/2) 
= -√(2)/4 + (-√(6)/4) 
= -√(2)/4 - √(6)/4 
= (-√(2) - √(6)) / 4
