Answer:
the angle between their paths is <em>100.8°</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given information, you can construct a triangle, just like the one in the figure.
We will use the <em>Cosine Rule</em> which is:
c² = b² + a² - 2 b c cos(θ)
where
- c = 16 miles
- b = 8 miles
- a = 12 miles
Therefore,
2 b c cos(θ) = b² + a² - c²
cos(θ) = (b² + a² - c²) / 2 b c
θ = cos⁻¹( (b² + a² - c²) / (2 b c) )
θ = cos⁻¹( (8² + 12² - 16²) / 2(8)(16) )
<em>θ = 100.8°</em>
<em></em>
Therefore, the angle between their paths is <em>100.8°</em>
The equations are in slope intercept form which is
y = mx+b
m is the slope of the equation. slope is rise/ run meaning that if a slope is 2, you can also say 2/1. this means you go up 2 squares and to the right 1 point. if the slope is negative, it looks like a downhill and the line falls left to right. if the slope is positive, it looks like uphill and the line falls right to left.
the x is what the slope is multiplied by but isn’t significant in graphing because it’s always just x
the b represents the y intercept. the y axis is the vertical line on the graph. for example if b = 7, then the line goes through 7 on the graph and basically tells us that (0,7) is a point on the line.
for y= x + 7, the slope is 1. that equation is just saying y= 1x+7 but the one is unnecessary usually because it’s implied that the x means 1x
