Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>This is:</u>
- a(b + c) = ab + ac - Distributive property
Correct choice is D
Angle AEB and angle CED are vertical angles, this means they equal each other, therefore we set their values as an equation and solve:
5x-10=3x+40
Subtract 3x to both sides
2x-10=40
Add 10 to both sides
2x=50
Divide both sides by 2
x=25
After we have gotten the value of x we can plug it in into the equation of angle AEB:
5x-10
Substitute x by 25
5(25)-10
Distribute
125-10
Substract
115
The measurement of angle AEB is 115
Hope it helped!, have a great day.
Answer: C) 5
--------------
x = independent variable, y = dependent variable
Assuming this is a linear function, each increase of x by 2 leads to y going up by 10. So 10/2 = 5 is the unit increase each time x bumps up by 1.
-------------------
An alternative is to use the slope formula to get
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (25 - 15)/(4 - 2)
m = 10/2 <--- this expression shows up again
m = 5 <---- leading to the same answer as before
So we see that the slope formula is a more drawn out method to finding the answer.
Find two points on the graph that the line crosses through almost perfectly. It looks like (1,10) and (9,1) will do.
Use them to compute the slope:
m = (1 - 10) / (9 - 1)
= -9/8
Then set up the "point-slope form":
y - y0 = m * (x - x0)
You choose some point (x0, y0) that the line crosses through. We already know the line passes through (1,10) pretty well, so let's use that.
x0 = 1
y0 = 10
Now finish plugging into the equation:
y - 10 = -9/8 * (x - 1)
The above equation will work fine for an answer, but let's go a step further and solve for y.
y - 10 = -9/8x + 9/8
y = -9/8x + 9/8 + 10
y = -9/8x + 9/8 + 80/8
y = -9/8x + (9 + 80)/8
y = -9/8x + 89/8
