Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on what you have here as the slope we can set the slope formula equal to 34 using the points (0, 8) and (8, c) to solve for c, then use the points (0, 8) and (a, 5) to solve for a.
c first:
and
and
c - 8 = 272 s0
c = 280
For a:
and
and
-34a = 3 so
That seems a little weird, but when you plug those points into the slope formula to solve for the slope, it works out the way it should.
Consider the attached picture. It represents a vector, centered in the origin with angle 41.7 degrees, and a circumference with radius 25, centered in the origin.
As you can see, the horizontal and vertical components of the vector correspond to the lengths of segments OD and OC, respectively.
You might recognize this scenario from you trigonometry class: if the circle had radius 1, we would have
Since the circle has radius 25, we have to scale those coordinates:
