There is 15 bars in each case.
Subtract 8 from 143 and you get 135.
Divide 135 by 9 and you get 15 :)
Y - y1 = m( x - x1); where m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1);
We have m = (6-0)/(7-5) = 6 / 2 = 3 ;
The equation of the line is: y - 0 = 3(x-5);
Finally: y = 3x - 15.
A polar coordinate is that which can be written as (r, θ) where r is the radius and θ is the angle.
The radius, r, is also the hypotenuse of the right triangle that can be formed. Hence, it can be calculated through the equation,
r² = x² + y²
If we are to simplify this for the r alone, we have,
r = sqrt (x² + y²)
Substituting the known values,
r = sqrt ((4)² + (-4)²) = 4√2
The x and y can be related through the trigonometric function, tangent.
tan θ = y/x
To solve for θ
θ = tan⁻¹(y/x) = tan⁻¹(-4/4) = -45° = 315°
Hence, the polar coordinate is <em>(4√2, 315°)</em>
