7 0

Answer:

  x = 70°

Step-by-step explanation:

The relevant relations are ...

  • base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent
  • consecutive interior angles where parallel lines meet a transversal are supplementary

__

Triangle OBQ is isosceles, so angle OQB = 40°. Triangle OPQ is isosceles, so angle OQP is x. The sum of angles OQB and OQP is angle BQP, which is supplementary to angle OPQ. That is, ...

  (40° +x) +x = 180°

  2x = 140° . . . . . . subtract 40°

  x = 70° . . . . . . divide by 2

_____

There are many ways to find x. The one shown here is just one of them. In general, right triangles, isosceles triangles, symmetry, inscribed angles can all be used to write relations involving the known angles and x.

Consider the two graphs above.
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

B. Graph 2 represents a proportional relationship, but graph 1 does not.

Step-by-step explanation:

All proportional relationships pass through the origin. Graph 2 does but Graph 1 does not. Additionaly, Graph 2 is a straight line that represents a proportional relationship. Another way to find out if it is proportional is to find the constant of proportionality by dividing the y by the x in different parts of the line. The numbers should all have the same constant of proportionality.

Examples (all found in Graph 2):

15/3 = 5

10/2 = 5

5/1 = 5
