Answer:

d. $1.82\: or\:4.46$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given trigonometric equation is;

$\sec \theta=-4.0545$

Recall that;

$\cos \theta=\frac{1}{\sec \theta}$

$\implies \cos \theta=\frac{1}{-4.0545}$

$\implies \cos \theta=-0.2466$

The cosine function is negative in the second and third quadrant.

$\theta=\pi-\cos^{-1}(0.2466)\: or\:\pi+\cos^{-1}(0.2466)$

$\theta=1.82\: or\:4.46$

The slope of the line passing through (1 , 0) and (3 , 8) is 4.

Slope, commonly represented by the letter m, is a value that describes the steepness and direction of a line. The slope of a line is also called its gradient or rate of change.

It is the vertical change in y divided by the horizontal change in x, sometimes called rise over run. The slope formula uses two points, $(x_{1}, y_{1} )$ and $(x_{2}, y_{2} )$ , to calculate the change in y over the change in x.
