Answer: It should be -(x - 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
the reason is this right here
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y1 = 4
x1 = 2
m = -1
y - 4 = -(x - 2)
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
The number you described is the same as 
where the sine of an angle is the ratio between a right triangle's opposite side to the angle and the hypotenuse. So, in this case, if we had a right triangle with a height of 
units and a hypotenuse of 2 units, the ratio between the two sides will result in the value you provided. This right triangle in particular would be a 30-60-90 triangle.
In the case of a unit circle, it’s the y-coordinate of the point where a 60° angle in the standard position intersects a unit circle and a right triangle is created from that.
The ladder, leaning against the building, forms a right triangle with height "a" being the distance from the ground to the window, and hypotenuse "c" being the length of the ladder.
Because it's a right triangle, we can use trigonometric ratios to find the angles we're missing.
For part A), to solve for the angle between the base of the ladder and the ground, you'll want to use sine, because we know the lengths of the opposite side and the hypotenuse.
Sin(x) = a/c , solve for angle x in degrees or radians.
For part B), finding the angle between the top of the ladder and the building, remember that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees, or pi radians, depending on which unit your teacher prefers.
Assuming degrees, we can say that angle y = 180-90-x. You are simply subtracting the two known angles to find the third.
For part C) use the Pythagorean theorem. You're looking for the length of the base, "b". Recall:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Plug in the known values, and solve for b.
