<h3>Answer:</h3>

3/4

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

The slope of a line describes the steepness of a line, as well as the direction.

Slope-Intercept Form

To answer the question, we first need to find the slope of the original line. This line is represented in the slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b.

In this formula, m is the slope.

So, using this information we can say that the slope is 3/4.

Parallel Lines

Parallel lines are 2 lines that will never intersect. You can tell if 2 lines are parallel by their slopes. All parallel lines have equal slopes.

This means that the slope of a line parallel to y = 3/4x + 2 must be 3/4 as well.

Answer:

Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is 34 . All lines that are parallel to y=3x4+2 y = 3 x 4 + 2 have the same slope of 34 .

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let's assume ;

12=a

15=c

?=b

so;

a2+b2=c2

(12)2+b2=(15)2

144+b2=225

b2=225-144

b2=81 (square root both sides)

You'll get

b=9

NB; 2 is used as squared

AB is tangent to the circle at B. M∠A=40 and mBC=130. <br> a. Find x <br> b. Find y

The values for x and y are respectively given as

x = 50
y= 90

This is further explained below.

<h3>What is the values for x and y ?</h3>

Generally, the equation for secent is mathematically given as

$secent = \frac{big arc - small arc}{2}$

Therefore

$40 = \frac{130-x}{2}$

80 = 130-x

x = 50

b) To Solve for y Now we find a measure of arc CD

ArcCD = 360-130-50

ArcCD = 180

In conclusion,(1/2) of the arc measure is equal to the angle that is on and inside a circle.

y = 180/2

y= 90
