Answer:

∠Q = 53.13 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that ∆PQR, ∠P = 90degrees , this means that the triangle is a right angled triangle

Hence using the notation

SOH CAH TOA

where S is sine, C is cosine, T is tangent and O, A and H represents the size of the opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse sides

Considering ∠Q and the given sides

PR=16cm is the opposite side,

PQ= 12 cm is the adjacent side hence we use TOA

Tan Q = 16/12 =

Q = Arc tan 16/12

= 53.13 degrees

Find the equation of the line that passes through the following two points: (3, -7) and (7, 2)

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

$y=\frac{9}{4}x-\frac{55}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

Slope formula: $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

Given points: (3, -7), (7, 2)

(3, -7) = (x1, y1)

(7, 2) = (x2, y2)

To write the equation in slope-intercept form, we need to find the slope(m) and the y-intercept(b) of the equation.

First, let's find the slope. To do this, input the given points into the slope formula:

$\frac{2-(-7)}{7-3}$

Simplify:

2 - (-7) = 2 + 7 = 9

7 - 3 = 4

$\frac{9}{4}$

The slope is $\frac{9}{4}$ .

To find the y-intercept, input the slope and one of the given points(in this example I'll use point (7, 2)) into the equation and solve for b:

$2=\frac{9}{4}(7)+b$

$2=\frac{63}{4}+b$

$-\frac{55}{4} =b$

The y-intercept is $-\frac{55}{4}$ .

Now that we know the slope and the y-intercept, we can write the equation:

$y=\frac{9}{4}x-\frac{55}{4}$

Solve the following inequality.

user100 [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

21 ≤ - 3(x - 4) < 30 ← divide all 3 intervals by - 3

Remembering to reverse the direction of the signs as a result of dividing by a negative quantity

- 7 ≥ x - 4 > - 10 ← add 4 to each interval

- 3 ≥ x > - 6, that is

- 6 < x ≤ - 3 → A
