Answer:

y = x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes, so the line will have a slope of 1.

Then, plug in the slope and given point into y = mx + b to solve for b:

y = mx + b

-4 = 1(-9) + b

-4 = -9 + b

5 = b

Plug in the slope and b into y = mx + b:

y = 1x + 5

y = x + 5

So, the equation of the line is y = x + 5

Find the reference angle given: t= -5π/3.

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

The reference angle is $\frac{\pi}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given angle is $t=-\frac{5\pi}{3}$

The reference angle is the acute angle, that a given angle makes with the x-axis.

First let us make a sketch of the given angle. <em>See diagram in attachment.</em>

Let $\theta$ be the reference angle of $t=-\frac{5\pi}{3}$

Then, from the diagram, we need to subtract $\theta$ from $-\frac{5\pi}{3}$ to get to $-2\pi$ .

We can therefore write the following equation and solve for $\theta$ .

$\Rightarrow -\frac{5\pi}{3}-\theta=-2\pi$

We group like terms to get,

$\Rightarrow -\theta=-2\pi +\frac{5\pi}{3}$

We collect LCM to get,

$\Rightarrow -\theta=\frac{-6\pi+5\pi}{3}$

We simplify to get,

$\Rightarrow -\theta=-\frac{\pi}{3}$

We divide through by $-1$

$\theta=\frac{\pi}{3}$ to get,

The correct answer is D.
