Answer:
x = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Line l and m are two parallel lines cut across by the transversal line, therefore, the angle measuring 53° and (8x - 9)° are interior angles on the same side. Interior angles on the same side are supplementary.
Therefore:
53° + (8x - 9)° = 180°
Solve for x
53 + 8x - 9 = 180
Collect like terms
53 - 9 + 8x = 180
44 + 8x = 180
Subtract 44 from both sides
44 + 8x - 44 = 180 - 44
8x = 136
Divide both sides by 8
8x/8 = 136/8
x = 17
Answer:
See below in bold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the point-slope form of a straight line
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Here m = -5/9 , x1 = 9 and y1 = -3:, so
y - -3 = -5/9(x - 9)
y + 3 = -5/9x + 5
y = -5/9x + 2 is the equation parallel to the given line.
The line perpendicular to the given line will have a slope of - 1 / -5/9
= 9/5 so its equation is
y + 3 = 9/5(x - 9)
y = 9/5x - 81/5 - 3
y = 9/5x - 96/5 .
