Answer:

y = (-5/3)x - 4

Explanation:

The equation of a line with slope m that goes through the point (x1, y1) is:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)_{}

Additionally, two lines are parallel if they have the same slope.

The slope of the line y = (-5/3)x - 2 is (-5/3) because it is the number beside x.

So, the slope of our line is also -5/3.

Therefore, replacing m by -5/3 and (x1, y1) by (-3, 1), we get that the equation of the line is:

\begin{gathered} y-1=-\frac{5}{3}(x-(-3)) \\ y-1=-\frac{5}{3}(x+3) \end{gathered}

Finally, solving for y, we get:

\begin{gathered} y-1=-\frac{5}{3}x-(\frac{5}{3}\cdot3) \\ y-1=-\frac{5}{3}x-5 \\ y=-\frac{5}{3}x-5+1 \\ y=-\frac{5}{3}x-4 \end{gathered}

So, the answer is:

y = (-5/3)x - 4

The measures of the angles of a triangle are in the extended ratio 2:2:8. What is the measure of the smallest angle?
zepelin [54]
We know that the ratio is;

2:2:8

The angles in a triangle add up to give 180°

We can think of there being twelve "parts" that add up to 180°

2x + 2x + 8x = 180  \\  \\ 12x = 180  \\  \\ x =  \frac{180}{12}  \\  \\ x = 15

So our ratio is;

2*15 : 2*15 : 8*15  \\  \\ = 30 : 30 :120

So the smallest angle is 30°
