Answer:
y = -3x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Choosing two points from the given table:
Let (x1, y1) = (-3, 16)
(x2, y2) = (-1, 10)
Plug these given values into the slope formula:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
= (10 - 16) / (-1 - (-3))
= -6 / (-1 + 3)
= -6/2
= -3
Therefore, the slope is -3.
Next, choose one of the points and plug into the <u>point-slope form</u>:
Let's use (-1, 10) as (x1, y1):
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 10 = -3(x - (-1))
y - 10 = -3(x + 1)
y - 10 = -3x - 3
Add 10 on both sides to isolate y:
y - 10 + 10 = -3x - 3 + 10
y = -3x + 7
We know that
applying the law of cosines
a² = b²+ c²<span> – 2*b*c*cos(A)
cos (A)=[b</span>²+c²-a²]/[2*b*c]
in this problem
a=10
b=17
c=18
so
cos (A)=[17²+18²-10²]/[2*17*18]-----> cos (A)=0.8382
A=arc cos (0.8382)-----> A=33.05°-----> A=33°
the answer is
33 degrees
Prob 70-74 depending on your school grading system
Simplify it to 2x-4=8x-4
-6x=0
x=0
not sure if that counts as no solution or single solution though...
