Answer:

y-intercept or "b"= 40/9 or 4.4444

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this, we use the formula y = mx +b

m= slope

b = y intercept

The equation we are given is 8x +9y = 40.

First, we need to subtract 8x from both sides to isolate the y variable to one side:

8x +9y = 40

9y = -8x + 40

Now, we need to divide both sides by 9, to solve for "y". This will give use the format of y = mx +b.

9y = -8x +40

y = -8/9x + 40/9

Because 40/9 cannot be reduced (besides 4.44), it will be our "b" or y intercept.

y-intercept = 40/9

I hope this helps!

solmaris [256]

Answer:

The answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

A supplementary angles are angles that when adding both sides will sum up to 180 Degrees.

<JKH and <LKH will be the correct answer because they add up tp 180 degrees.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-5,2) and has a slope of 4/5

dedylja [7]

Answer:

4x - 5y + 30 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

When a slope of a line and a point passing through it is given then we use slope - one point form to determine the equation of the line.

It is given by:

$(y - y_1) = m (x - x_1)$

where $m$ is the slope of the line and

$(x_1, y_1)$ is the point passing through it.

Here $m = \frac{4}{5}$ and $(x_1 , y_1) = (-5,2)$ .

Substituting in the equation we get

$(y - 2) = \frac{4}{5} (x + 5)$

$\implies 5y - 10 = 4x + 20$

$\implies 4x - 5y + 30 = 0$

If sec(theta) =25/24, find cot(theta) (Picture provided)

larisa [96]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By the definition,

$\sec \theta=\dfrac{\text{hypotenuse}}{\text{adjacent leg}}.$

If $\sec \theta=\dfrac{25}{24},$ we can consider right triangle with hypotenuse 25 un. and adjacent leg 24 un. By the Pythagorean theorem,

$\text{hypotenuse}^2=\text{adjacent leg}^2+\text{opposite leg}^2,\\ \\\text{opposite leg}^2=25^2-24^2,\\ \\\text{opposite leg}^2=625-576,\\ \\\text{opposite leg}^2=49,\\ \\\text{opposite leg}=7\ un.$

So,

$\cot \theta=\dfrac{\text{adjacent leg}}{\text{opposite leg}}=\dfrac{24}{7}.$
