Madeline needs to find the slope of the line that passes through the points (9, 12) and (7, 4). She sets up the following work: 12-4/7-9
Has she set up her work correctly? Why or why not?

No

Step-by-step explanation:

She has everything correct but one thing. In order to have her answer correct, she must put the 9 in front of the 7 because the bigger number needs to go in front.

answer: cos [   arcsin (3/5) - arccos (1/2) ] =

step-by-step explanation: × = 3/5 = 0.6--> x = 36.87 and x = 180 - 36.87 = 143.13 deg

cos y = 1/2 --> y = +- 60 deg a. cos (x - y) = cos (143.13 - 60) = cos 83,13  

=

0.12

b. cos (36.87 - 60) = cos (-23.23) = 0.92
