The equation for finding the slope of a line is
. After substituting in the points, we get
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is right triangle trig. The side opposite the x is 8, and the side adjacent to the x is 5. The tangent ratio uses those sides. We need to find what angle has a tangent of 8/5. To do this, make sure your calculator is in degree mode. Then hit "2nd" then tan and you will see tan with a little -1 and a parenthesis. Enter 8/5 and hit "enter" and you will get an angle measure of 57.9946. Rounded to the nearest degree this is 58 degrees. That's your answer!
180-130=50
180-96=84
angles in a triangle add up to 180
50+84=134
180-134=46
x=46 degrees
