Question:
If cos(θ) =-8/17 and sin(θ) is negative, then sin(θ) = ___ and tan(θ) =___.
Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:
Given
cos(θ) =-8/17
Required
sin(θ) = __
tan(θ) =__
The first step is to determine the length of the third side
Given that

Where Adj and Hyp represent Adjacent and Hypotenuse

By comparison

Using Pythagoras

By Substitution


Subtract 64 from both sides


Take square roots of both sides




The question says that sin(θ) is negative; This implies that θ is in the third quadrant and as such

From trigonometry


Also from trigonometry






General form of any equation is of the form AX+BY+C=0
Here A,B,C are three real numbers
THe given equation is
2x +4y+2=3y+5
To make right side equal to 0 we subtract 3y and 5 both sides
2x+4y+2-3y-5=0
Simplifying like terms
2x+y-3=0
Option B is the right answer
