What is the value of tan A?
8/17
15/8
8/15
15/17

B) 15/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the SOH-CAH-TOA acronym:

• SOH: Sin(θ) = Opposite / Hypotenuse

• CAH: Cos(θ) = Adjacent / Hypotenuse

• TOA: Tan(θ) = Opposite / Adjacent

Tangent of A would be "opposite" over "adjacent". The side of the triangle opposite angle A would be 15, and the side adjacent to angle A would be 8 -- the value of tan(A) is 15/8.

Tan(A) cannot be 15/7, because 7 is the hypotenuse. Remember that the hypotenuse of a right triangle is the side opposite the 90° angle -- here, angle B is the 90° angle.

y=-2.5x+12.5

step-by-step explanation:

5y=2x+10

y=0.4x+2

slope=-2.5

5=-2.5*3+b

b=12.5
