Answer:
26.8°
Step-by-step explanation:
The cosine of an angle is the ratio of the adjacent side of the triangle in which the angle is formed to the hypotenuses side of the triangle. The cosine of the angle gives the ratio of these sides. However, the arc cosine of the ratio gives the angle measured in degrees.
If cos B = 0.8926
then arc cosine 0.8926 which may be expressed as cos-1 0.8926 will give the value of B.
B = cos-1 0.8926
= 26.8°
Since this is a compound interest problem, you have to take note that the amount Catherine will get per year is not the same. It will increase per year since it is compounded. So first, we get the amount after one year. This will be 7000 x 0.04 which is 280 plus 7280. In the second year, she will get 7571 (7280 x 0.04 + 7280). In the third year, she will get 7874 (7571 x 0.04 + 7571). In the fourth year, she will get 8189 (7874 x 0.04 + 7874). And finally in the fifth year, she will get 8517 (8189 x 0.04 +8189). So after five years, she has 8517
Answer is choice DThis is the only answer choice with a negative slope, so we don't even need to look at the point really. Though if you wanted, you can confirm that the point (1,-3) is on the diagonal line. This point is shown in red in the attached image.
To find that the slope is -6/5, you pick two points on the diagonal line and use the slope formula. Two points you can use are (1,-3) and (-4,3).
The slope formula is m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Note: The negative slope is because we move downhill as we move from left to right along the diagonal line.
Answer:
y = -2x + 16.
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the perpendicular line = -1 / slope of the given line
= -1 / 1/2 = -2.
Using the point slope form of the equation of a straight line:
y - y1 = m (x - x1)
y - 8 = -2(x - 4)
y - 8 = -2x + 8
y = -2x + 16 is the required equation.
