Answer:
slope formula

Explanation:
1- Slope of DE:
Assume point D is (x1, y1) and point E is (x2, y2). To get the slope of DE, we will substitute with the given points in the following formula:
slope of DE = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1) = -2

1- Slope of AC:
Assume point A is (x1, y1) and point C is (x2, y2). To get the slope of AC, we will substitute with the given points in the following formula:
slope of AC = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1) = -2

3- Therefore, the easiest way to get the slope of any line is by using the slope formula.

4- Note that since the two slopes are equal, this means that the two lines are parallel.

Hope this helps :)

Problem 1

Draw a straight line and plot P anywhere on it. Use the compass to trace out a faint circle of radius 8 cm with center P. This circle crosses the previous line at point Q.

Repeat these steps to set up another circle centered at Q and keep the radius the same. The two circles cross at two locations. Let's mark one of those locations point X. From here, we could connect points X, P, Q to form an equilateral triangle. However, we only want the 60 degree angle from it.

With P as the center, draw another circle with radius 7.5 cm. This circle will cross the ray PX at location R.

Refer to the diagram below.

=====================================================

Problem 2

I'm not sure why your teacher wants you to use a compass and straightedge to construct an 80 degree angle. Such a task is not possible. The proof is lengthy but look up the term "constructible angles" and you'll find that only angles of the form 3n are possible to make with compass/straight edge.

In other words, you can only do multiples of 3. Unfortunately 80 is not a multiple of 3. I used GeoGebra to create the image below, as well as problem 1.

The ratio of Mike buying fish to Millie buying fish was 8 to 2. If in total they bought 150 pounds of fish. How many pounds did
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer: Mike bought 120 pounds of fish and Millie bought 30 pounds  of fish.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio is 8 to 2 then  8/10 will be the probability of Mike buying fist and 2/10 will be the probability of Millie buying fish.

Now multiply each fraction by the total number of pounds to find how many pounds each bought.

8/10 * 150 = 1200/10 = 120

2/10 * 150 = 300/10 = 30  

In this case, Mike bought 120 pounds of fish and Millie bought 30 pounds  of fish.

Problem: Gerri made a function machine. Find the rule for Gerri's function machine.
shusha [124]
There are an infinite number of possibilities, and not enough information
to decide which possibility is really the one inside the function machine.

Here are a few.  Each of these gives the result that you described,
and there are an infinite number of others:

f(x) = x

f(x) = 2x + 1

f(x) = 10x + 9

f(x) = x² - 2

f(x) = 7x² - 8

f(x) = 31x³ + 30

f(x) = log( |x| ) - 1

f(x) = ln( |x| ) - 1

f(x) = x tan(45°)
.
.
etc.
