Find an equation perpendicular to x=1 and passing through (8,-9)
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find an equation of a line that's perpendicular to x=1 that also passes through the point (8,-9).
Note that x=1 is a <em>vertical line </em>since x is 1 no matter what y is.
This means that if our new line is perpendicular to the old, then it must be a <em>horizontal line</em>.
So, since we have a horizontal line, then our equation must be our y-value of our point.
Our y-coordinate of our point (8,-9) is -9.
Therefore, our equation is:
And this is in standard form.
And we're done!

Answer:
720 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the interior angles of a convex polygon with n sides is
180(n - 2) degrees.
In this case, n = 6 sides, so the angle sum is
180(6 - 2) = 180(4) = 720 degrees.
The reason this works is that if you draw a diagonal from one vertex to the others (see attached image), you get 2 fewer triangles than the number of sides. Each triangle contains a total of 180 degrees, so the total of all the interior angles is 180(n - 2).
