An angle measures 30° more than the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?
1 answer:
Hi there!
Let there be two angles, ∠A and ∠B, that are supplementary to each other. Therefore:
∠A + ∠B = 180°
We can assign ∠B to be the greater angle. Assume ∠A has a measure of x°.
∠A = x°
∠B = x° + 30°
The sum is equal to 180°, so:
x° + (x° + 30°) = 180°
Solve for x°.
2x° + 30° = 180°
2x° = 150°
x° = 75°
Thus, ∠A = 75°.
Since ∠B is 30°, greater:
∠B = 75° + 30° = 105°.

Answer: y = -2x + 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Two lines are said to be perpendicular if the product of their slope = -1, that is , if is the slope of the first line and
is the slope of the second line , if the two lines are perpendicular , then
= -1
The equation of the line given :
y = 1/2x - 1
comparing with the equation of line in slope intercept form
y = mx + c , where m is the slope and c is the y - intercept , it implies that
= 1/2
Therefore :
= -2
To find the equation of the line with slope -2 and passes through the point ( 3 , 4 ) we will use the formula
= m (
)
y - 4 = -2 ( x - 3 )
y - 4 = -2x + 6
y = -2x + 6 + 4
y = -2x + 10
