Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

step 1

we know that

In the right triangle XYZ

$cos(Y)=\frac{ZY}{XY}$ ---> adjacent side divided by the hypotenuse

substitute the values

$cos(30\°)=\frac{ZY}{4}$

Remember that

$cos(30\°)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

substitute

$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{ZY}{4}$

$ZY=(4)\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

$ZY=2\sqrt{3}\ units$

step 2

$sin(Y)=\frac{XZ}{XY}$ --> opposite side divided by the hypotenuse

substitute the values

$sin(30\°)=\frac{XZ}{4}$

Remember that

$sin(30\°)=\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{1}{2}=\frac{XZ}{4}$

$XZ=2\ units$

step 3

$tan(Y)=\frac{XZ}{ZY}$ --> opposite side divided by adjacent side

substitute the values

$tan(Y)=\frac{2}{2\sqrt{3}}$

$tan(Y)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

Simplify

$tan(Y)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$

A line passes through the points (–5, 2) and (10, –1). Which is the equation of the line?

beks73 [17]

Slope = (2 + 1) / (-5 - 10) = -3/15 = - 1/5

Equation

y - 2 = -1/5 (x + 5)

y - 2 = -1/5 x - 1

y = -1/5 x + 1

Answer

y = -1/5 x + 1
