Answer:

Equation of line is $\mathbf{y=-3x+3}$

Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write an equation that represents the line that passes through the point (-1, 6) and has a slope of -3.

The equation will be of slope-intercept form: $y=mx+b$

where m is slope and b is y-intercept

We are given slope m =-3, we need to find y-intercept b

Finding y-intercept

using slope m=-3 and point (-1, 6)

$y=mx+b\\6=-3(-1)+b\\6=3+b\\b=6-3\\b=3$

So, y-intercept b is 3

Now the equation of line having slope m= -3 and y-intercept b = 3 is

$y=mx+b\\y=-3x+3$

Equation of line is $\mathbf{y=-3x+3}$

Option A is correct.

Find the exact value of Cos 240 degrees without a calculator. Show your work!

VMariaS [17]

it equals (−12) because cos(60∘)=12

Explanation:

The reference angle for 240∘ is 60∘ (since 240∘=180∘+60∘)

60∘ is an angle of one of the standard triangles with
cos(60∘)=12

240∘ is in the 3rd quadrant so (either by CAST or noting that the "x-side" of the associate triangle is negative)
cos(240∘)=−cos(60∘)

cos(240∘)=−12

A jar contains 30 red, 30 blue, and 60

kiruha [24]

The probability of picking red button is $\frac{1}{4}$

Solution:

Given, A jar contains 30 red, 30 blue, and 60 white buttons.

You pick one button at a random choice,

We have to find the probability that it is red button.

Now, total number of buttons = 30 + 30 + 60 = 120 buttons.

Number of favourable cases for red button = 30 red buttons.

The probability of an event is given as:

$\text { probability of a event }=\frac{\text { favourable ways to pick red }}{\text { total possiblities }}$

$=\frac{30}{120}=\frac{1}{4}$

Thus the probability that it is red is $\frac{1}{4}$
