3 0

Answer:

x = 0°

Step-by-step explanation:

$\cos x = 3 \cos x - 2 \\ 2 = 3 \cos x - \cos x \\ 2 = 2\cos x \\ \cos x = \frac{2}{2} \\ \cos x =1 \\ \cos x =\cos 0 \degree \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{x = 0 \degree}} \\$

Find the value of x and y so that both proportions will be correct:

andrew11 [14]

The values of x and y are 0.2 and 0.4 respectively.

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

The given proportions are.....

$x: 1\frac{2}{3}=y: 3\frac{1}{3}$ and $y:1.5=0.2:0.75$

From the second proportion, we will get....

$y:1.5=0.2:0.75\\ \\ \frac{y}{1.5}=\frac{0.2}{0.75} \\ \\ 0.75y=0.2*1.5\\ \\ 0.75y=0.3\\ \\ y=\frac{0.3}{0.75}=0.4$

Now, we will plug this $y=0.4$ into the first proportion. So we will get....

$x: 1\frac{2}{3}=y: 3\frac{1}{3}\\ \\ x: \frac{5}{3}=0.4:\frac{10}{3} \\ \\ \frac{x}{\frac{5}{3}}= \frac{0.4}{\frac{10}{3}}\\ \\ \frac{3x}{5}=\frac{1.2}{10}\\ \\ 30x=6\\ \\ x= \frac{6}{30}=0.2$

So, the values of x and y are 0.2 and 0.4 respectively.

Find the slope of a line parallel to a line that contains the points (8, -3) and (2, 5).

Illusion [34]

Answer:

$-\frac{4}{3}$ (Your answer choices were really confusing, so I just put the plain answer)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of a line with just two points, we can use the formula $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$ . In this case, $\frac{5-(-3)}{2-8}$ . This is $\frac{8}{-6}$ . This reduces to $-\frac{4}{3}$
