So here is how we are going to solve for r. In a parallelogram, given angles L and N are equal in measure, as well as angles M and O. Angles L and O are supplementary angles, as well as M and N. So the first thing we are going to do is to solve for t first.
3t-15=2t+10
3t-2t=10+15
t=25
Angle O : 2t + 10
2(25)+10 = 60
Adding L and O together gives you 180
so 4r+60=180
4r=120
r=30
And 30*4=120
So r = 30
and angle L = 120
Hope this answers your question.

I got 30. If you set M and I equal to each other and solve you get 25. If you substitute 25 for t you get 60. L and I should be supplementary so if you subtract 60 from 180 you get 120. Lastly, since you're solving for r, you need to divided 120 by 4 to get 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

5 and 6 are the same, so I will do one of those and you can use the example to do the other one.

Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b. If we have 2 points and nothing else, we can use those 2 points in the slope formula to find the slope (the m value in the equation) and then plug that in with either one of the points to get the equation. The slope formula is:

$m=\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

Using our points in question 5: (2, 4) (5, 4)

$m=\frac{4-4}{5-2} =\frac{0}{3}=0$ So m = 0. Now pick a point and use it in the equation along with the m value to solve for b. I will use (2, 4):

4 = 0(2)+b and

4 = 0 + b so

b = 4.

Now we have m = 0 and b = 4 so we fill in the equation with that info:

y = 0x + 4 or simplifying,

y = 4

For question 7 they want the line parallel to y = 3x + 6 that goes through (-10, 2.5). For a line to be parallel to another line, their slopes have to be identical. The slope in y = 3x + 6 is 3. So the slope of the "new" line is going to be 3 as well. Now we will use that slope and the given point to solve for b, just like in #5:

2.5 = 3(-10) + b and

2.5 = -30 + b so

b = 32.5

Now we will fill in:

y = 3x + 32.5

For question 8 they want the line perpendicular to y = -4x - 2 that goes through (-16, -11). For a line to be perpendicular to another line, their slopes have to be opposite reciprocals. Opposite meaning the sign is opposite (positive becomes negative and negative becomes positive), and reciprocal meaning the fraction is flipped upside down. The slope in our line is -4. That means that the perpendicular slope is positive 1/4. Using that along with our point, we will again solve for b:

$-11=\frac{1}{4}(-16)+b$ which simplifies to

-11 = -4 + b so

b = -7

Now we fill in:

$y=\frac{1}{4}x-7$

For question 8, in order to find the line parallel to the given line, you need to know the slope. In the form it is currently in, we do not know the slope. We need to put it into slope-intercept form to find the slope, then we will proceeed as above. If

x + 4y = 6, then

4y = -x + 6 and, dividing by 4,

$y=-\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{3}{2}$
