Answer:
D: Both the slopes and the y-intercepts are the same.
First, lets note that

. This leads us with the following problem:

Lets add sin on both sides, and we get:

Now if we divide with sin on both sides we get:

Now we can remember how cot is defined, it is (cos/sin). So we have:

Now take the inverse of cot and we get:

In general we have

, the reason we have to add pi times n, is because it is a function that has multiple answers, see the picture:
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
![\sf{3[ x + 3(4x - 5)] = 15x - 24}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csf%7B3%5B%20x%20%2B%203%284x%20-%205%29%5D%20%20%3D%2015x%20-%2024%7D)
Distribute 3 through the parentheses
⇒![\sf{3[ x + 12x - 15 ] = 15x - 24}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csf%7B3%5B%20x%20%2B%2012x%20-%2015%20%5D%20%20%3D%2015x%20-%2024%7D)
Collect like terms : 12x and x
⇒![\sf{3[ 13x - 15 ] = 15x - 24}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csf%7B3%5B%2013x%20-%2015%20%5D%20%20%3D%2015x%20-%2024%7D)
Distribute 3 through the parentheses
⇒
Move 15x to left hand side and change it's sign
Similarly, move 45 to right hand side and change it's sign
⇒
Collect like terms
⇒
Calculate
⇒
Divide both sides of the equation by 24
⇒
Calculate
⇒
