Answer:

y = x - 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = x - 9 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 1

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = x + c ← is the partial equation of the parallel line

To find c substitute (6, - 7) into the partial equation

- 7 = 6 + c ⇒ c = - 7 - 6 = - 13

y = x - 13 ← equation of parallel line

First, take all the sides you already have, then add them up. (You should get 12) To find the other two sides, do some more simple addition. The 2+3+2 of the the top side add up to six (the bottom side) and sides equal each other so add another three. Total is 12+6+3=21

Answer: $126^{\circ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

If we draw RP and PS, then in the quadrilateral formed, we know that $\angle PRQ=\angle PSQ=90^{\circ}$ , and since angles in a quadrilateral add to 360 degrees, this means $\angle SPR=126^{\circ}$ .
