Answer: option C
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram of the triangle is shown in the attached photo. The triangle is a right angle triangle ABC
Assuming the given angle is #,
Recalling the trigonometric ratio,
tan # = opposite / adjacent
If tan # = 4, it means
opposite / adjacent = 4/1
Therefore, opposite = 4 and adjacent = 1
Applying Pythagoras theorem,
Hypotenuse^2 = opposite ^2 + adjacent ^2
Hypotenuse = AC
Opposite = 4
Adjacent = 1
AC^2 = 4^2 + 1^2 = 17
AC = ± √17
To determine cos #, we would apply another trigonometric ratio,
Cos# = adjacent /hypotenuse
Cos# = 1/±√17
Cos # =-1 /√17 or 1/√17
The equation of the central street PQ is -1.5x - 3.5y = -31.5 option (b) is correct.
<h3>What is a straight line?</h3>A straight line is a combination of endless points joined on both sides of the point.
We have a straight line:
Convert it to the general form given below:
or
(Slope of AB line)
For the slope(m') of the PQ line:
( because AB and PQ are perpendicular to each other)
We know the:
Where (x', y') = (7, 6), we get:
(multiply by -1/2 on both sides)
Thus, the equation of the central street PQ is -1.5x - 3.5y = -31.5
