Find the equation of a line with a slope of −1/2 that passes through the point −4, 10

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation of a line can be in slope intercept form which is y=mx+b

m is the slope, b is the y intercept, x it the x coordinate, and y is the y coordinate. Since we know the slope is -1/2 and we know a x coordinate is -4 and a y coordinate is 10 we can sub them in and solve for the value of b.

The value of b is 8. We can now sub it in for our equation of the line. This time with x and y as variables.

y=-1/2x+8

11.2

step-by-step explanation:

when doing tangent the tangent of the angle is equal to the opposite side from the angle over the adjacent side to the angle.

tan43 = x / 12

move 12 over by multiplying each side by 12

12tan43 = x

x = about 11.2
