Question 1111754: the slope of a line can be expressed in terms of a trigonometric ratio.
a. express the slope of the graphed line as a trigonometric ratio of the angle formed by the line and the positive x-axis.
b. determine the slope of the graphed line and use your trigonometric expression to find the measure of 0 (to the nearest tenth of a degree).
c. find the slops (to the nearest tenth) of a line that forms a - 58 degree angle with the positive x-axis. show all work

the slope of a line can be expressed in terms of a trigonometric ratio.
a. express the slope of the graphed line as a trigonometric ratio of the angle formed by the line and the positive x-axis.:: slope = tan(theta) = y/x
--------------------------------------------
b. determine the slope of the graphed line and use your trigonometric expression to find the measure of 0 (to the nearest tenth of a degree).:: graphed line not shone
-----------------
c. find the slope (to the nearest tenth) of a line that forms a - 58 degree angle with the positive x-axis. show all work1
slope = tan(58 degrees) = 1.6
