Answer:

y = -1/2x - 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

With points (-5,0) and (-3,4), we need to find the slope first.

[Find slope of points]

Using slope formula m = (Y2 - Y1) / (X2 - X1)

Using points: m = (4 - 0) / (-3 - 5) = 4/-8 = -1/2

[Use point-slope formula]

(y-y0) = m(x-x0)

Using points: (y - 0) = -1/2(x - -5)

Finally: y = -1/2x -5/2

It would be 2/3 because you have to minus 2x on to the other side then you do-3 to -6 and -2x and you would get for your Y INTERCEPT would be 2/3

I need help! solve for x

Volgvan

Answer:

x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's a fun fact, all of those angles actually add up to 360 degrees!

How do we know this? Well if you were to draw a small arc between each of the lines, you would see that the arc would end up making a circle. And remember, circles have 360 degrees!

Now we can do some basic algebra. Add up all the angles and set that equal to 360.

(2x) + (x) + (3x + 20) + (2x+20) = 360.

8x + 40 = 360

8x = 320

x = 40

Hope this helped!

Answer:

D) 55/73

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is on trigonometry. Sine of an angle is obtained using the SOH of SOHCAHTOA formula of trigonometry. SOH is an acronym for sine, opposite and hypotenuse. Sine of an angle is obtained from the ratio of opposite and hypotenuse of a given triangle. Thus, SOH

is denoted as stated below.

$sine \: \beta = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$
