Ratio of complement of x : supplement of x 
2 : 5
⇒ 2 times the supplement of x will be equal to 5 times the complement of x

5(90 - x) = 2 (180 - x)
450 - 5x = 360 - 2x
5x - 2x = 450 - 360
3x = 90
x = 30°

Complement of x = 90 - x = 90 - 30 = 60
Supplement of x = 180 - x = 180 - 30 = 150
Ratio:
60 : 150
60 ÷ 30 : 150 ÷ 30
2 : 5 (checked)

Select the correct answer. A linear function has a y-intercept of -12 and a slope of 3/2. What is the equation of the line? y =
aniked [119]

Answer:

The equation of the line is:

  • y\:=\:\frac{3}{2}x\:-12

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

where

  • m is the slope
  • b is the y-intercept

Given

  • y-intercept b = -12
  • slope m = 3/2

now substituting b = -12 and m = 3/2 in the slope-intercept form of line equation

y = mx+b

y\:=\:\frac{3}{2}x\:+\:\left(-12\right)

y\:=\:\frac{3}{2}x\:-12

Therefore, the equation of the line is:

  • y\:=\:\frac{3}{2}x\:-12
