Slope intercept form: y = mx + b
mx = slope
b = y-intercept
We know the y intercept is 0, so nothing will be written there.
To find the slope of this line, we can use the slope formula.
We'll use the points (1, 0) and (3, 1) to find the slope.
Now we can just plug these values into the equation to find the slope.
1 - 0 / 3 - 1
1 / 2
The slope of the line is 1/2, or 0.5.
The slope-intercept form of this line can be written as:
y = 0.5x
<h3>Answer: 24/25</h3>
=================================================
Explanation:
Sine is given to be negative, and so is tangent. This only happens in quadrant Q4
Recall that y = sin(theta), so if sin(theta) < 0, then we're below the x axis.
If tan(theta) < 0, then this means cos(theta) > 0
So we have y < 0 and x > 0 which places the angle somewhere in Q4.
--------------------------
Draw a right triangle as shown below in the attached image. We have AC = 25 and BC = 7. Use the pythagorean theorem to find that AB = 24
So this is what your steps may look like
a^2+b^2 = c^2
7^2+b^2 = 25^2
b^2+49 = 625
b^2 = 625-49
b^2 = 576
b = sqrt(576)
b = 24
So because AB = 24, we know that the cosine of the angle is adjacent/hypotenuse = 24/25
---------------------------
As an alternative, you could use the trig identity
sin^2(x) + cos^2(x) = 1
and plug in the given value of sine to solve for cosine. The cosine value result will be positive since we're in Q4.
So,
sin^2(x) + cos^2(x) = 1
(-7/25)^2 + cos^2(x) = 1
(49/625) + cos^2(x) = 1
cos^2(x) = 1 - (49/625)
cos^2(x) = (625/625) - (49/625)
cos^2(x) = (625-49)/625
cos^2(x) = 576/625
cos(x) = sqrt(576/625)
cos(x) = sqrt(576)/sqrt(625)
cos(x) = 24/25
This is effectively a rephrasing of the previous section since the pythagorean trig identity is more or less the pythagorean theorem (just in a trig form)
