Answer:

  (i) k = 1

  (ii) 4/7

  (iii) arctan(4/7) ≈ 29.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

(i) A graph of the given points is helpful. It shows us the slope of AB is ...

  mAB = rise/run = 2/1 = 2

so the slope of BC must be the opposite reciprocal, -1/2.

Point C is 6-2 = 4 units to the right of point B, so will be (-1/2)(4) = -2 units from point B in the vertical direction. That is, ...

  k = 3 -2

  k = 1

__

(ii) The gradient of AC is found from the slope formula:

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (1 -(-3))/(6 -(-1))

  mAC = 4/7

__

(iii) The angle that line AC makes with the +x axis is the arctangent of the slope:

  arctan(4/7) ≈ 29.7° . . . angle between AC and +x axis

Tema [17]
= 4.95 X .65 = 3.2175 ( 3.22).
4.95 = 100% of the price
100 less 35 = 65
4.95 X .65% = 3.2175 or 3.22
