Answer:

-9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is equal to the change in y, over the change in x, or rise over run.

x, is the run

y, is the rise

You can substitute the coordinate numbers on the equation to find the slope. which is y2-y1/x2-x1

m= 17-(8)

——

2-(6)

Your answer will be -9/4 (it doesn’t matter where the negative goes, and there’s a negative because 2-6= -4)

Hope this helps.

Verify this identity: secx-cosx = 1-cos^2x/cosx

Sauron [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

sec x − cos x

Secant is the inverse of cosine:

(1 / cos x) − cos x

Find the common denominator:

(1 / cos x) − (cos² x / cos x)

Subtract:

(1 − cos² x) / cos x

Find the equation of the line that cuts through (0,5) and (1,2)?

MArishka [77]

The equation of the line that cuts through (0,5) and (1,2) is y = -3x + 5

<h3>Solution:</h3>

Given that we have to find equation of the line that cuts through (0,5) and (1,2)

The equation of line passing through points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ is given as:

$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$

Where "m" is the slope of line

Let us first find slope of line

The slope of line is given as:

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

$\text{ Substituting } (x_1, y_1) = (0, 5) \text{ and } (x_2, y_2) = (1, 2)$

$m=\frac{2-5}{1-0}=-3$

Thus the required equation of line is:

$y - 5 = -3(x - 0)\\\\y - 5 = -3x\\\\y = -3x + 5$

Thus the equation of line is found
