Show that ((cos 70°−cos 20°)/(sin 70°−sin 20°)) = −1
$${Show}\:{that}\:\frac{\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{70}°−\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{20}°}{\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{70}°−\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{20}°}\:=\:−\mathrm{1} \\ $$

cos 70°=cos (90°−20°)=sin 20°  cos 20°=cos (90°−70°)=sin 70°  ((cos 70°−cos 20°)/(sin 70°−sin 20°))   =((sin 20°−sin 70°)/(sin 70°−sin 20°))   =−((sin 70°−sin 20°)/(sin 70°−sin 20°))  =−1
$$\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{70}°=\mathrm{cos}\:\left(\mathrm{90}°−\mathrm{20}°\right)=\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{20}° \\ $$$$\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{20}°=\mathrm{cos}\:\left(\mathrm{90}°−\mathrm{70}°\right)=\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{70}° \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{70}°−\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{20}°}{\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{70}°−\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{20}°}\: \\ $$$$=\frac{\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{20}°−\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{70}°}{\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{70}°−\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{20}°}\: \\ $$$$=−\frac{\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{70}°−\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{20}°}{\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{70}°−\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{20}°} \\ $$$$=−\mathrm{1} \\ $$

((cos70°−cos20°)/(sin70°−sin20°))=((−2sin((70°+20°)/2)sin((70°−20°)/2))/(2cos((70°+20°)/2)sin((70°−20°)/2)))=        ((−2sin45°sin50°)/(2cos45°sin50°))=((−2((√2)/2)sin50°)/(2((√2)/2)sin50°))=−1
$$\frac{{cos}\mathrm{70}°−{cos}\mathrm{20}°}{{sin}\mathrm{70}°−{sin}\mathrm{20}°}=\frac{−\mathrm{2}{sin}\frac{\mathrm{70}°+\mathrm{20}°}{\mathrm{2}}{sin}\frac{\mathrm{70}°−\mathrm{20}°}{\mathrm{2}}}{\mathrm{2}{cos}\frac{\mathrm{70}°+\mathrm{20}°}{\mathrm{2}}{sin}\frac{\mathrm{70}°−\mathrm{20}°}{\mathrm{2}}}= \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\frac{−\mathrm{2}{sin}\mathrm{45}°{sin}\mathrm{50}°}{\mathrm{2}{cos}\mathrm{45}°{sin}\mathrm{50}°}=\frac{−\mathrm{2}\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}}{\mathrm{2}}{sin}\mathrm{50}°}{\mathrm{2}\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}}{\mathrm{2}}{sin}\mathrm{50}°}=−\mathrm{1} \\ $$
