Olin [163]

Answer:

y=-4x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

Step 1

Find the slope m

Let

A(1,-2),B(2.-6)

m=(-6+2)/(2-1)=-4

Step 2

Find the value of b

we have

m=-4

A(1,-2)

substitute in the equation of the line

y=mx+b

-2=(-4)(1)+b

-2=-4+b

b=2

The equation in slope intercept form is equal to

y=-4x+2

Use the unit circle tan (3/4)
Mariana [72]

Using the unit circle, the coordinates of 3π/4 is :

(-\frac{\sqrt[]{2}}{2},\frac{\sqrt[]{2}}{2})

Note that tangent function can be solved using the formula y/x

where x and y are the coordinates of the angle.

This will be :

\frac{\sqrt[]{2}}{2}\div(-\frac{\sqrt[]{2}}{2})=-1

The answer is -1
