Let
x = measure of the angle
y = measure of the supplement 

By definition of supplementary, the two angles add to 180 degrees, so
x+y = 180
This is the first equation.

The second equation is y = 3x-16 since we're given the info that "the supplement is 16 degrees less than three times the angle"

--------------------------

The system of equations is
x+y = 180
y = 3x-16

Focus on the first equation x+y = 180, plug in y = 3x-16, and solve for x

x+y = 180
x+3x-16 = 180  ... y is replaced with 3x-16
4x-16 = 180
4x-16+16 = 180+16
4x = 196
4x/4 = 196/4
x = 49

Because x = 49, we can use this to find y
y = 3x-16
y = 3*49-16
y = 147 - 16
y = 131

-------------------------------------------------------------

Final Answers:
The measure of the angle is 49 degrees
The measure of the supplement is 131 degrees

Write an equation of the line that passes through (-4, -1) and is perpendicular to the line y= 4/3x+6.
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

y = (-3/4)x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slopes of perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals of each other. In other words, if the slope of one line is a/b, then the slope of the line perpendicular to it would be -b/a.

Here, the given slope is 4/3, so the slope of the perpendicular line is -3/4.

We are given a point (-4, -1) and we know the slope, so we can find the point-slope form of the line. Point-slope form is written as y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1,y1) is the point and m is the slope. Here, x1 = -4 and y1 = -1 and m = -3/4. So:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-1) = (-3/4) * (x - (-4)) = (-3/4) * (x + 4)

y + 1 = (-3/4)x + (-3/4) * 4 = (-3/4)x - 3

y = (-3/4)x - 3 - 1

y = (-3/4)x - 4
