Y - 3 = 5(x - 4)
y - 3 = 5x - 20
y = 5x - 20 + 3 = 5x - 17
=> slope = 5

For perpendicular line, m2 = -1/m1 = -1/5

Perpendicular lines are lines that intersect. The angle made by their intersection is a right angle. To know if 2 lines are perpendicular is through their slopes. The slope of the other line must be the negative reciprocal of the slope of the first. Since the slope of line AB is 5 hence the slope of the other line must be -1/5. C is the answer.

A car with a tank that holds 11.6 gallons of gasoline is using 1.45 gallons per hour. Is the tank more than half full of gasolin
spayn [35]
No, because 11.6/2 is 5.8 so 5.8 is half of the tank. if it uses 1.45 per hour and it's used for 3.5 hours there will only be 5.075

For which value of theta is sin theta equals -1?
Olin [163]

Answer:

The value of Ф is 3π/2

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the angle Ф in the four quadrant

∵ r = √(x² + y²) ⇒ square the two sides

∴ x² + y² = r²

∵ r = 1

∴ x² + y² = 1

∵ cos² Ф + sin² Ф = 1

∵ x is the adjacent side to Ф and y is the opposite side to Ф

∴ x = cos Ф and y = sin Ф

- At point (1 , 0)

∵ x = 1 , y = 0

∴ cos Ф = 1 and sin Ф = 0

∵ The positive part of x-axis represents the angle 0 and 2π

∴ cos 0 and 2π are 1 and sin 0 and 2π are 0

- At point (0 , 1)

∵ x = 0 , y = 1

∴ cos Ф = 0 and sin Ф = 1

∵ The positive part of y-axis represent the angle π/2

∴ cos π/2 is 0 and sin π/2 is 1

- At point (-1 , 0)

∵ x = -1 , y = 0

∴ cos Ф = -1 and sin Ф = 0

∵ The negative part of x-axis represents the angle π

∴ cos π is -1 and sin π is 0

- At point (0 , -1)

∵ x = 0 , y = -1

∴ cos Ф = 0 and sin Ф = -1

∵ The negative part of y-axis represent the angle 3π/2

∴ cos 3π/2 is 0 and sin 3π/2 is 1

* For the value of Ф = 3π/2 is sin Ф = -1

Can someone please explain to me how to get this answer?
SIZIF [17.4K]
Answers:
A = 120
b = 45.0
c = 33.2

Side Note: only one triangle is possible
See attached for a visual. I used GeoGebra to draw the triangle.

-------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------

Explanation:

We are given the following information
B = 35
C = 25
a = 68

We need to find the following
A, b, c

where the lower case letters represent the side lengths; the upper case letters are the angles. The angles are opposite their corresponding sides. For instance, side lowercase b is opposite angle uppercase B. The other letters are positioned the same way.

-----------------------

First use the idea that for any triangle, the three angles (A,B,C) must add to 180 degrees
A+B+C = 180
Replace B and C with 35 and 25. Solve for angle A
A+35+25 = 180
A+60 = 180
A+60-60 = 180-60
A = 120

Now that we know the three angles A = 120, B = 35, C = 25, we can find the missing sides 'b' and 'c'

-----------------------

We will use the law of sines to find side b
sin(A)/a = sin(B)/b
sin(120)/68 = sin(35)/b
b*sin(120) = 68*sin(35) <<--- cross multiply
b = 68*sin(35)/sin(120)
b = 45.037013350222 <<--- use a calculator; this value is approximate
b = 45.0 <<--- round to the nearest tenth

-----------------------

Do the same for side c
sin(A)/a = sin(C)/c
sin(120)/68 = sin(25)/c
c*sin(120) = 68*sin(25) <<--- cross multiply
c = 68*sin(25)/sin(120)
c = 33.1838323365404 <<--- use a calculator; this value is approximate
c = 33.2 <<--- round to the nearest tenth

Five over seven plus blank over six equals fifty one over forty two
NISA [10]

Answer:

The blank is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

1 - Give the blank a variable

x = our blank

2 - Write it out

\frac{5}{7} + \frac{x}{6} = \frac{51}{42}

3 - Get the denominators equal

\frac{5}{7}(\frac{6}{6}) +\frac{x}{6}(\frac{7}{7}) = \frac{51}{42} \\\frac{30}{42}+\frac{7x}{42} = \frac{51}{42}

4 - Simplify

\frac{30+7x}{42} = \frac{51}{42} \\ \frac{30+7x}{42} = \frac{51}{42}

5 - Solve for the numerators

30+7x = 51

-30         -30

      7x = 21

        x = 3
