Answer:
71°
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to be able to solve this problem, we must assume the relation between lines "a" and "b" is that they are parallel.
If a║b, then ∠1 and ∠2 are corresponding, hence congruent.
m∠1 = m∠2 = 71°
Suppose that the <u>function</u> f(x) is the <u>parrent</u> function and the<u> graph</u> of the function g(x)=f(x)-a can be obtained from the graph of the parrent function f(x) by <u>shifting down</u> a units.
Rewrite the expression for the function
in the following way:

This shows that the shift down is made by 17 units.
Answer: 17 units
So the answer choices are
1. a-b=even
2. a and b are not odd
3. a and b are odd
4. a-b=even
5. a-b=not even
even=not odd
not even=odd so choice 5 is really a-b=odd
basically choice 4 and 1 are the same so we cross one out
so
the problem said that a and b are odd so therefor choice2 is wrong and choice 3 is correct
then both are odd
odd-odd=even because
an even number is represented as 2n where n is an integer
an odd number can be represented as 2n+1 so assume you have 2 odd numbers 2 away from each other so odd and (odd+2)
odd+2-odd=2n+1+2-(2n+1)=2n+1+2-2n-1=2n-2n+1-1+2=2
you are left with odd
using integers
7 and 11
11-7=4
even
so odd-odd=even, it depends on weather you consider 0 odd or even
so the asnwers are:
a and b are odd
a-b is not an even integer
I would say take 2 from eight which equals 6
