Answer:

Your equation would be

y=4x-12

Step-by-step explanation:

So an easy way to figure this out is graph the points and look at the distance the points are away from each other. In this case it was 12 up and 3 right. This is your slope. Simplify the fraction to 4/1. Then from (2,-4) use the given slope to work back to a point that is on the y axis, which is (0,12). Plug all of the given information you found into y=mx+b and you get the given formula.

Moving a figure around a fixed point in the plane is called making a ___.

klasskru [66]

Answer:

Rotation.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three rigid motions (which do not change the shape and size of the figures): rotation, translation and reflection.

You make a rotation of a figure when you turn it about a fixed point (which can be inside, on an edge or outside the figure) and it is measured in degrees. The rotation can be clockwise or counterclockwise.

Louie is trying to find a rectangular canvas for his art project. its width must measure 20 inches and form a 35° angle with the

sweet-ann [11.9K]

The height of the canvas according to tangent is 14 inches.

According to the statement

we have given that the a rectangular canvas for his art project. its width must measure 20 inches and form a 35° angle with the diagonal of the canvas.

And we have to find the height of the canvas.

So, For this purpose,

The given information is:

The 35⁰ angle is part of a right triangle with a side of 20 inches. The tangent of this angle (35⁰) is equal to the opposite side, x, over the adjacent side (20 inches).

Tan (35⁰) = x/20

0.7002 = x/20

x = 14.004 inches.

For more understanding of the statement please see the image below.

So, The height of the canvas according to tangent is 14 inches.
