For this question you need to use what's called point-slope form. It's named this way because you can use it if you have both the slope and a point at which the line passes through. That said, the equation is as follows:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Both y1 and x1 represent the y and x coordinates you are given in the question. Also, m represents the slope of the line that you are given. Knowing this, our equation now looks like this:

y - 4 = -0.5(x - (-5))

And now simplify:

y - 4 = -0.5(x + 5)
y - 4 = -0.5x - 2.5

y = -0.5x + 1.5

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

A = 177.46

Step-by-step explanation:

A = lw + l\sqrt{(\frac{w}{2})^{2} + h^{2}} + w \sqrt{(\frac{l}{2})^{2} + h^{2}

A = 6*6+6root((6/2)^2+11.4^2)+6root((6/2)^2+11.4^2)

A = 177.46

D2

D4

C4

END

Step-by-step explanation:

Start (A3)

x is equal to 141 because they are alternate interior angles.

A2. x is equal to 39 because they are corresponding angles.

B2. x would be supplementary to 41 because the angle that x supplements is corresponding to 41.

41 + x = 180 due to the linear pair postulate. Therefore, x = 139.

B1. x would be supplementary to 82 because they are consecutive exterior angles.

82 + x = 180 due to the linear pair postulate. Therefore, x = 98.

C1. x = 102 due to the vertical angles theorem.

C2. x would be supplementary to 130 because the angle that x supplements is equal to 130 (Alternate Exterior Angles).

130 + x = 180, x = 50.

D2. x = 74, corresponding angles.

D3. x = 83, corresponding angles.

D4. x = 95, corresponding

C4. x is supplementary to 18 because of the consecutive interior angles theorem.

x = 162
