Slope of a line passing though point (x1,y1) nd (x2,y2) is
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

we have
(1,-3) and (3,-5)
x1=1
y1=-3
x2=3
y2=-5

slope=(-5-(-3))/(3-1)=(-5+3)/(2)=-2/2=-1

slope=-1

Line segment XY is tangent to circle Z at point U. Circle Z is shown. Line segment U V is a secant. Line segment X Y is a tangen

Yuri [45]

Answer:

138°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠YUV creates arc YV. Circle Z is made up of arc UV (84°) and arc YV. Solve for the measure of arc YV. (A circle equals 360°)

84° + x = 360°

arc YV = 276°

arc YV is formed from a secant and a tangent. Because of this ∠YUV is half of arc YV.

276° ÷ 2 = 138°

∠YUV = 138°

When using an equivalent fraction to find a percent, why do you write 100 as the denominator ?

Westkost [7]

You write 100 as the denominator because 100 represents a whole whereas the numerator normally represents a percentage. Hope this helps!
