Get the equation of the line containing PQ using the point-slope formula:

y - (-2) = 3/2 (x - (-6))

Solve for y to get it in slope-intercept form:

y = 3/2 x + 7

so the y-intercept is (0, 7).

The line containing QR is then

y - 7 = -3/4 (x - 0)

y = -3/4 x + 7

The point R is on the x-axis, so its y-coordinate is 0. Plug in y = 0 and solve for x to get the other coordinate:

0 = -3/4 x + 7

3/4 x = 7

x = 4/3×7 = 28/3

So the point R has coordinates (28/3, 0).

Which angle has a sine of -1/2 and a cosine of -√3/2

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

$\sin x=-\dfrac{1}{2} < 0\\\\\cos x=-\dfrac{\sqrt3}{2} < 0\\\\therefore\ x\in(180^o;\ 270^o)$

$\text{We know:}\ \tan x=\dfrac{\sin x}{\cos x}\\\\\text{therefore:}\ \tan x=\dfrac{-\frac{1}{2}}{-\frac{\sqrt3}{2}}=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot\dfrac{2}{\sqrt3}=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt3}\cdot\dfrac{\sqrt3}{\sqrt3}=\dfrac{\sqrt3}{3}$

$\tan x=\dfrac{\sqrt3}{3}\Rightarrow x=30^o+180^o\cdot k;\ k\in\mathbb{Z}$

$x\in(180^o;\ 270^o)\ therefore\ \boxed{x=30^o+180^o=210^o}$
