First create the equation y=Mx+ B
B is the y intercept so when y = 0, B = -1.
Now we have y=Mx - 1
The slope is M. We can calculate this by using the formula M = (y2 -y1) / (x2 - x1)
Use the points (0, -1) and (2,3) for these values. So y2 = 3, y1 = -1, x2 = 2, x1 = 0
Plug them into the equation and solve
M = (3 + 1) / (2 - 0)
M = 4/2 = 2
Now we have the equation y = 2x - 1
Next to figure out if the points given are on the line you take the values and plug them into your equation like so: 4 = 2(-2) - 1
2(-2) - 1 does not equal 4 so this point does not fall on this line. Follow this same procedure for the next point given.
A event would be five I think and the event of b would be nine

Answer: cos(76)</h3>
=========================================================
Explanation:
The original expression is of the pattern cos cos + sin sin. This pattern matches the second identity in the hint. Specifically, we'll say the following:
cos(A - B) = cos(A)cos(B) + sin(A)sin(B)
cos(A)cos(B) + sin(A)sin(B) = cos(A - B)
cos(94)cos(18) + sin(94)sin(18) = cos(94 - 18)
cos(94)cos(18) + sin(94)sin(18) = cos(76)
----------
We can verify this by use of a calculator. Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.
- cos(94)cos(18) + sin(94)sin(18) = 0.24192
- cos(76) = 0.24192
Both expressions give the same decimal approximation, so this helps confirm the two expressions are equal. You could also use the idea that if x = y, then x-y = 0. Through this method, you'll subtract the left and right hand sides and you should get (very close to) zero.
