Answer:
C. R = 17.9 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a rectangle triangle with the adjacent side and the opposite side (neither of which are the hypotenuse).
The relation between those elements is the tangent:
So, to isolate the angle, we modify the formula as such:
If we round 17.87 degrees to the tenth... we get 17.9 degrees.
Slope = (10 - 5)/(-9 + 15) = 5/6
y = mx + b where m = slope and b = y-intercept
b = y - mx
b = 5 - (5/6) (-15)
b = 5 +12.5
b = 17.5
Equation y = 5/6 x + 17.5
Y-intercept = 17.5
X-intercept when y = 0
So
5/6 x + 17.5 = 0
5/6 x = -17.5
x = (-17.5) (6/5)
x = -21
Answer
Y intercept (0, 17.5 )
X intercept (-21 , 0)
