Find the value of y so that WX is perpendicular to YZ

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alexxandr [17]1 year ago
8 0

step 1

Find out the slope WX

W(2,-3) and X(-4,9)

m=(9+3)/(-4-2)

m=12/-6

m=-2

step 2

Find out the slope YZ

Y(5,y) and Z(-1,1)

m=(1-y)/(-1-5)

m=(1-y)/-6

m=(y-1)/6

step 3

Remember that

If two lines are perpendicular

then

their slopes are negative reciprocal

that means

(y-1)/6=1/2 -----> because the negative reciprocal of -2 is 1/2

solve for y

2y-2=6

2y=6+2

2y=8

<h2>y=4</h2>

Lines x and y are parallel.
densk [106]

On the bottom line, the 106 and number 1 make a straight line and needs to equal 180 degrees.

This means number 1 = 180-106 = 74 degrees.

Because x and y are parallel, the top outside angle is the same as number 1.

6x +8 = 74

Subtract 8 from both sides:

6x = 66

divide both sides by 6:

x = 66 / 6

x = 11

Now you have x, replace x in the equation for 7x-2 to find that angle:

7(11) -2 = 77-2 = 75 degrees.

The three inside angles need to equal 180 degrees.

Angle 2 = 180 - 74 - 75 = 31 degrees.

9 games

You can get this by multiplying each percentage by the total number of games to see what they have to expect.

.55*180 = 99 games (red team)

.60*180 = 108 games (blue team)

Now subtract the blue team expectation from the red team.

108 - 99 = 9 games.
