Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

So, to start off we are going to input our (x,y) values into x and y.

-4 = -2(1)

Now, we are going to multiply 1 and -2!

-4 ≠ -2

Since -4 doesn't equal -2 we know that (1,-4) is not a solution to the equation y=-2x

Hope this Helps! :)

Anyone know how to prove these are equal to one another? I also need all the steps.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

it can be simplified to $\frac{sec \theta}{cot\theta+tan\theta} =sin\theta$ . if you multiply each side by the denominator, it becomes $sec\theta=\frac{sin^2\theta}{cos\theta} + cos\theta$ since $tan\theta=\frac{sin\theta}{cos\theta}$ and cotan is the reciprocal of that. Because $sec\theta=\frac{1}{cos\theta}$ so multiplying each side gives $1=sin^2\theta+cos^2\theta$ , and $sin^2\theta+cos^2\theta$ is equal to 1.
