Answer:

2x+y = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a line is y = mx+b where m is the lope and b is the y intercept

y = -2x+b

substitute the point into x and y

8 = -2(6) +b

8 = -12+b

Add 12 to each side

20 =b

y = -2x+20

Add 2x to each side

2x+y = 20

Is sin(x) even or odd ? prove with examples ?

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

$\text{sin}(x)$ is an odd function.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to prove whether $\text{sin}(x)$ is even or odd.

We know that a function $f(x)$ is even if $f(x)=f(-x)$ and a function $f(x)$ is odd, when $f(-x)=-f(x)$ .

We also know that an even function is symmetric with respect to y-axis and an odd function is symmetric about the origin.

Upon looking at our attachment, we can see that $\text{sin}(x)$ is symmetric with respect to origin, therefore, $\text{sin}(x)$ is an odd function.

Is this one question correct

bazaltina [42]

Answer: 2/3ft or C

Step-by-step explanation: Solve for b in the area of a triangle equation, A=1/2bh. Multiply 1/2 by 2 on both sides to cancel it: A(2)=bh. Divide both sides by h: $\frac{A(2)}{h}$ =b
