Answer:
482 km
63.94 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
to solve this question we will use the cosine rule. For starters, draw your diagram. From point A, up north is 500km and 060 from there, another 300. If you join the point from the road junction back to the starting point, yoou have a triangle.
Cosine rule states that
C =
where both A and B are the given distances, 500 and 300 respectively, C is the 3rd distance we're looking for and c is the given angle, 060
solving now, we have
C =
C =
C =
C =
C =
C = 482 km
The bearing can be gotten by using the Sine Rule.
=
sina/500 = sin60/482
482 sina = 500 sin60
sina =
sina = 0.8983
a = sin^-1(0.8983)
a = 63.94 degrees
Parallel lines have the same slope.
To compare the slopes of two different lines, you have to get
both equations into the form of
y = 'm' x + (a number) .
In that form, the 'm' is the slope of the line.
Notice that it's the number next to the 'x' .
The equation given in the question is y = 3 - 2 x .
Right away, they've done something to confuse you.
You always expect the 'x' term to be right after the 'equals' sign,
but here, they put it at the end. The slope of this line is the -2 .
Go through the choices, one at a time.
Look for another one with a slope of -2 .
Remember, rearrange the equation to read ' y = everything else ',
and then the slope is the number next to the 'x'.
Choice #4: y = 4x - 2 . The slope is 4 . That's not it.
Choice #3: y = 3 - 4x . The slope is -4 . That's not it.
Choice #2). 2x + 4y = 1
Subtract 2x from each side: 4y = 1 - 2x
Divide each side by 4 : y = 1/4 - 1/2 x .
The slope is -1/2. That's not it.
Choice #1). 4x + 2y = 5
Subtract 4x from each side: 2y = 5 - 4x
Divide each side by 2 : y = 5/2 - 2 x .
The slope is -2 .
This one is it.
This one is parallel to y = 3 - 2x ,
because they have the same slope.
We have the following:
solving for x
The solution of x is equal to 28, therefore 12 is not a solution of the equation
