A) Two parallel lines, intersecting a 3rd line (a traversal), indicates that two same-sided, internal angles MUST be SUPPLEMENTARY (sum, or add up to 180°).

b) Since <1 and <2 are supplementary, they add up to 180°. Therefore, <1 + <2 = 180:
(20x+5) + (24x-1) = 180
44x + 4 = 180
44x + 4 -4 = 180-4
44x = 176
44x/44 = 176/44
x = 4

What is the y-intercept of the line that is

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The y-intercept of the line would be (C) 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line with the equation y = -3x - 5 is -3. When figuring out a slope perpendicular to another line you would use the negative reciprocal of the slope which would lead to the slope of the line to be 1/3.

We know it passes through the point (-3,7), substituting x and y, we would then get our new equation, $(7) = \frac{1}{3}( -3) + b$ .
