Answer:

y = -x/2 + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: find the slope

2x - y - 7 = 0

2x - 7 = y

y = 2x - 7

Equation of a line is y = mx + c

m = slope

m = 2

Note: if two lines are perpendicular to the other, both lines are negative reciprocal of each other

Therefore m = -1/2

Step 2: using a point slope form

y - y1 = m( x - x1)

( 4 , -1)

x = 4

y = -1

y - (-1) = -1/2(x - 4)

y + 1 = -1/2(x - 4)

Open the bracket

y + 1 = -x + 4 / 2

y = (-x + 4) / 2 - 1

LCM = 2

y = -x + 4 - 2 / 2

y = (-x + 2)/2

Separate the two, so as to get the slope and the intercept

y = -x/2 + 2/2

y = -x/2 + 1

The equation of the line is

y = -x/2 + 1

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

275

Step-by-step explanation:

since each space ship is 35 point and he lost 5 space ships u go 35x5 which gives you 175.

so since thats his loss you go -175+ 450 which is what you earned that gives you: 275

hope that helps

Answer the question in the picture

Recall the angle sum identities:

$\sin(x+y)=\sin x\cos y+\cos x\sin y$

$\cos(x+y)=\cos x\cos y-\sin x\sin y$

Now,

$\tan(x+y)=\dfrac{\sin(x+y)}{\cos(x+y)}=\dfrac{\sin x\cos y+\cos x\sin y}{\cos x\cos y-\sin x\sin y}$

Divide through numerator and denominator by $\cos x\cos y$ to get

$\tan(x+y)=\dfrac{\tan x+\tan y}{1-\tan x\tan y}$

Next, we use the fact that $x,y$ lie in the first quadrant to determine that

$\sin x=\dfrac12\implies\cos x=\sqrt{1-\sin^2x}=\dfrac{\sqrt3}2$

$\cos y=\dfrac{\sqrt2}2\implies\sin x=\sqrt{1-\cos^2x}=\dfrac1{\sqrt2}$

So we then have

$\tan x=\dfrac{\sin x}{\cos x}=\dfrac{\frac12}{\frac{\sqrt3}2}=\dfrac1{\sqrt3}$

$\tan y=\dfrac{\sin y}{\cos y}=\dfrac{\frac1{\sqrt2}}{\frac{\sqrt2}2}=1$

Finally,

$\tan(x+y)=\dfrac{\frac1{\sqrt3}+1}{1-\frac1{\sqrt3}}=\dfrac{1+\sqrt3}{\sqrt3-1}=2+\sqrt3\approx3.73$
