Why might someone choose to use the y-intercept and the slope to graph a line?

1 answer:

4 0

Because if you know where the line crosses the y axis (the y intercept) you can plot a point there. Then with slope you can count to your next plotted point. With the 2 points you can now draw your line.

The midpoint of mn is point p at (-4,6). If point m is at (8,-2), what are the coordinates of point n?

VashaNatasha [74]

x₁ + x₂ y₁ + y₂
 2 = M 2 = M

x + 8 y + -2
 2 = -4 2 =6
multiply both sides by 2.

x+8=-8 y - 2 = 12
x = -16 y = 14

Final Answer: (-16, 14)

Find the cosine of both angle A and angle B.

Svetach [21]

We know that

cos A=adjacent side angle A/hypotenuse
adjacent side angle A=24 units
hypotenuse=26 units

cos A=24/26-----> 12/13

cos B=adjacent side angle B/hypotenuse
adjacent side angle B=10 units
hypotenuse=26 units

cos B=10/26------> 5/13

the answers are
cos A=12/13
cos B=5/13

cot A=adjacent side angle A/opposite side angle A
adjacent side angle A=24 units
opposite side angle A=10 units
cot A=24/10------> cot A=12/5

cot B=adjacent side angle B/opposite side angle B
adjacent side angle B=10 units
opposite side angle B=24 units
cot B=10/24------> cot B=5/12
