Answer:

= -5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope through two points can be found by

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

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

= (-4-1)/(3+1)

= -5/4

Answer:

m∠SQV + m∠VQT = 180°

Step-by-step explanation:

<u> m∠SQT is substituted by 180° at step 5</u>

4 m∠SQV + m∠VQT = m∠SQT Angle Addition Postulate
5 m∠SQV + m∠VQT = 180° Substitution Property of Equality
6 m∠VQT + m∠ZRS = 180° Same-Side Interior Angles Theorem

How do I find the values of these

skad [1K]

Since the triangles are similar, then 32 = x+7 those two angles are too
solve for "x"

now using proportions $\bf \cfrac{\textit{small triangle}}{\textit{large triangle}}\qquad \cfrac{JK}{18}=\cfrac{12}{12+10}$

solve for JK

$\bf \cfrac{\textit{small triangle}}{\textit{large triangle}}\qquad \cfrac{12}{12+10}=\cfrac{9}{9+KG}\implies 12(9+KG)=(22)9
\\\\\\
108+9KG=198$

solve for KG

the scale factor of the perimeter of both triangles is just the same as the ratio of the sides, or $\bf \cfrac{12}{12+10}$
