The measures of two complementary angles are in the ratio 8:1. how many degrees are in the larger angle?

1 answer:

4 0

Since the measures of the two angles are in the ratio 8:1, this means the bigger angle's is 8x and the smaller angle is x. Since they are complementary, they add to 90°, so you create the equation 8x+x=90°. This can be simplified to 9x=90°. Then, you divide 90 by 9 to get 10. This means x=10. Next, you replace x with 10 to find the measure of the bigger angle. 8x10=80, so the larger angle is 80°.

What is the y-intercept of the equation 8x – 3y = 24?

Levart [38]

Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Create this equation into a y=mx+b form

8x-3y=24

-8x -8x -8 to solve for -3y

-3y=-8x+24

---- --- --- divide by -3 to leave y by itself

-3 -3 -3

y= 8

--- x-8

y intercept is -8
