Answer:

$y=-2x+12$

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation of a line, find the slope between two points. Substitute two points into the slope formula. If the equation has an x-intercept of 6 then the line passes through the point (6,0). Use (6,0) and (4,4) in the formula.

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{4-0}{4-6} =\frac{4}{-2} =-2$

Since m = -2, substitute its value and the point (6,0) into the point slope form. Then simplify.

$y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)\\y-0 = -2 (x-6)\\y=-2x+12$

5. Lines p and q are parallel, and line w is a transversal. Which angle is not congruent to angle 1?

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

∠2, ∠4, ∠6 and ∠8 are not congruent to ∠1.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

p and q are the parallel lines and w is a transversal.

∠1 ≅ ∠3 [Vertically opposite angles]

∠1 ≅ ∠5 [Corresponding angles]

∠1 ≅ ∠7 [Alternate exterior angles]

Therefore, ∠2, ∠4, ∠6 and ∠8 are not congruent to ∠1.

A 45 foot ladders leaning up against a building. The base of the latter is 20 feet away from the building. What is the angle of

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

The angle of elevation to the top of the building is 63.61 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate angle of elevation to the top of the building.

For this, we need a triangle

Please check for this in the attachment.

From the diagram, we are to calculate the angle theta.

To do this, we use trigonometric identities.

Looking at what we have, we have the hypotenuse and the adjacent.

So the trigonometric identity to use is the cosine

Mathematically Cosine theta = adjacent/hypotenuse

Thus, Cos theta = 20/45

Cos theta = 0.444444444444444

Theta = Arc cos(0.444444444444444)

Theta = 63.61 degrees

Which counterexample shows that the conjecture "All animals that can fly are birds" is false?

QveST [7]

It seems like you forgot to post the answer choices. However, bats are one animal where they can fly but they aren't birds. So this is one counter-example to prove the claim false. Another example would be any flying insects.
