I assume the trouble with this is the > instead of an =.

If this is the case, just pretend like it is an equals and solve normally with one extra rule in mind. Any time you multiply or divide by a negative remember you need to flip the sign. For instance:
-3 < -1
Multiply by 2
-6 < -2
Multiply by -2
12 > 4

The reasoning behind this is simple, while x may be bigger than b, -x is smaller than -b because x has a greater absolute value.

Answer:

The equation of required line is: $\mathbf{5x-8y+34=0}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write equation in the form Ax+By+C=0 of the line parallel to $5x-8y+12=0$ and through the point (-2,3)

First we need to find slope and y-intercept of the required line.

Using equation of line $5x-8y+12=0$ to find slope.

Since the given line and required lines are parallel there slope is same.

Writing equation in slope intercept form: $y=mx+b$ where m is slope.

$5x-8y+12=0 \\-8y=-5x-12\\\frac{-8y}{-8y}=\frac{-5x}{-8}-\frac{12}{-8}\\y=\frac{5}{8}x+\frac{3}{4}$

So, the slope m = 5/8

The slope of required line is $m=\frac{5}{8}$

Now finding y-intercept using slope $m=\frac{5}{8}$ and point(-2,3)

$y=mx+b\\3=\frac{5}{8}(-2)+b\\3=\frac{-5}{4}+b\\b=3+\frac{5}{4}\\b=\frac{3*4+5}{4}\\b=\frac{12+5}{4}\\b=\frac{17}{4}$

So, the equation of required line having slope $m=\frac{5}{8}$ and y-intercept $b=\frac{17}{4}$

$y=mx+b\\y=\frac{5}{8}x+\frac{17}{4}\\y=\frac{5x+17*2}{8}\\y= \frac{5x+34}{8} \\8y=5x+34\\5x-8y+34=0$

So, The equation of required line is: $\mathbf{5x-8y+34=0}$

What is the value of x? I don’t understand this please help

Monica [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A tangent line makes a right angle with the radius to the point of tangency. Hence this triangle is a right triangle, and x° is the complement of 36°:

x° = 90° -36° = 54°

The value of x is 54.
