Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept is usually written as y = mx + b form, where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept is the y value when x is equal to 0.

We can first eliminate C, because the y-intercept of the graph is 1.

To solve for slope, which is the m, choose two points, (-1, 5) and (1, -3).

Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

= (-3 - 5) / (1 - (-1))

= (-3 - 5) / (1 + 1)

= -8/2

= -4

Plug in the slope and y-intercept, we get y = -4x + 1

MArishka [77]

150% to decimal = 1.50 since 100% = 1
1.50 x 20 = 30
30 + 20 = 50

given that sin theta= 1/4, 0 is less than theta but less than pi/2, what is the exact value of cos theta

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

$\cos{\theta} = \frac{\sqrt{15}}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

For any angle $\theta$ , we have that:

$(\sin{\theta})^{2} + (\cos{\theta})^{2} = 1$

Quadrant:

$0 \leq \theta \leq \frac{\pi}{2}$ means that $\theta$ is in the first quadrant. This means that both the sine and the cosine have positive values.

Find the cosine:

$(\sin{\theta})^{2} + (\cos{\theta})^{2} = 1$

$(\frac{1}{4})^{2} + (\cos{\theta})^{2} = 1$

$\frac{1}{16} + (\cos{\theta})^{2} = 1$

$(\cos{\theta})^{2} = 1 - \frac{1}{16}$

$(\cos{\theta})^{2} = \frac{16-1}{16}$

$(\cos{\theta})^{2} = \frac{15}{16}$

$\cos{\theta} = \pm \sqrt{\frac{15}{16}}$

Since the angle is in the first quadrant, the cosine is positive.

$\cos{\theta} = \frac{\sqrt{15}}{4}$
