Answer:

y = -5/4x -19

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given that a line passes through (-8, -9), and has a slope of -5/4

We want to write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form

Slope-intercept form is given as y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

As we're already given that the slope of the line is -5/4, we can immediately plug it into the equation:

y=-5/4x+b

Now we must find b

As the equation passes through the point (-8, -9), (meaning that if we plug the values of (-8, -9) into the equation, we should be getting a true statement), we can use it to solve for b

Substitute -8 as x and -9 as y into the equation:

-9=-5/4(-8)+b

Multiply

-9=10+b

Subtract 10 from both sides

-19=b

Substitute -19 as b

y = -5/4x -19

Hope this helps!

I have no clue how to do this!!!

Step One
Find z
All triangles have 180 degrees. No exceptions.
z + 47 + 90 = 180      combine like terms on the left.
z + 137 = 180            subtract 137 from both sides
z =  180 - 137        
z = 43 degrees.

Step Two
Use the sine function to find y
Sin(43) = opposite side / hypotenuse
opposite side = 35 

sin(43) = 35 / hypotenuse
hypotenuse = 35 / sin(43)
y = 35/0.6820
y = 51.32 

Solve using cos(x)
Note this problem could have been done in a shorter way.
Cos(47) = adjacent / hypotenuse.
hypotenuse = adjacent / cos(47)
y = 35 / cos(47)
y = 35 / 0.6820
y = 51.32 Both answers agree. It is a good thing to know how to do this question both ways.
