Answer:

The equation of the horizontal line is \\ y = 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation for a line having the slope and some point (x, y) is represented by the formula \\ y - y_{1} = m(x - x_{1}), where m is the slope (<u>see below</u>), and \\ (x_{1}, y_{1}) is a given point of the line. In this case, the point given is \\ (x_{1}, y_{1}) =(-4, 6).

A <em>horizontal line</em> has <em>no variation</em> in its slope (m), that is, \\ slope = 0.

\\ slope = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}=0

For this to be true, the term \\ y_{2} - y_{1} = 0, or \\ y_{2} = y_{1}, so \\ m = 0. That is, the resulting line will be <em>parallel to x-axis</em> (or it could be the x-axis itself if y = 0).

A word of warning: take care that it is not the case for \\ x_{2} - x_{1} = 0, in which this would result in an <em>indeterminate form</em> for this equation, that is, \\ \frac{0}{0}. Or, having a variation in \\ y_{2} - y_{1}≠0, with \\ x_{2} - x_{1}=0, the resulting line would be a <em>parallel line to the y-axis</em> or the y-axis itself (if x = 0), or a line of slope = ∞.

Then, the formula:

\\ y - y_{1}=m(x - x_{1}) could be rewritten as \\ y - y_{1}=0*(x - x_{1}) ⇒ \\ y - y_{1}=0 or \\ y=y_{1}, and we know that the point given is \\ (x_{1}, y_{1})=(-4, 6).

So, the equation of the horizontal line through \\ (x_{1}, y_{1}) =(-4, 6) is then:

\\ y = 6.

As can be seen in the graph attached, the line is horizontal (no variation respect to y-axis \\ (y_{2} - y_{1})=0, but it does for x-axis \\ (x_{2} - x_{1}) ≠0 ( it is different from 0 ), and the domain goes from -∞ to ∞, that is, for all values in x-axis. Notice also that the line passes through the point \\ (-4, 6).

We are given two points

our point =(-4,6)

so, x_1=-4,y_1=6

Since, this is horizontal line

and we know that

horizontal line will be parallel to x-axis

so, slope of horizontal must be 0

so, m=0

now, we can use point slope form of line

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

we can plug values

y-6=0(x+4)

now, we can simplify it

y-6=0

Add both sides by 6

y-6+6=0+6

y=6

So, equation of horizontal line is

y=6..............Answer

Need help with solving both of these questions for geometry homework.
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

m<R = m<T = 80.5 deg

Step-by-step explanation:

3)

Since WXYZ is a square, <WXZ is formed with a diagonal of the square and has measure 45 deg.

m<WXZ = 8x - 19 = 45

8x - 19 = 45

8x = 64

x = 8

4)

Draw the kite. Make sure that segments QR and RS are not congruent. Fill in the given angle measures. Angles R and T are congruent opposite angles.

The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex, n-sided polygon is

180(n  2).

A kite is a quadrilateral, so n = 4.

180(4 - 2) = 180(2) = 360

The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a kite is 360 deg.

m<Q + m<R + m<S + m<T = 360

75 + m<R + 124 + m<T = 360

m<R + m<T + 199 = 360

m<R + m<T = 161

m<R = m<T, so we substitute m<T with m<R.

m<R + m<R = 161

2m<R = 161

m<R = 80.5

m<R = m<T = 80.5 deg

Each of the walls in Harvey’s shed are square and have an area of 84 square feet. What is the approximate height, to the nearest
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

B. 9 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

area = side^2

side^2 = 84

side = sqrt(84)

side = 9.2 ft

Each side of a wall measures 9.2 ft.
