Answer:
x = 29°
The angles are 137° , 116° , 96° , 44° and 147°
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the angles of the polygon is given as 540°. The angles are given as 5x – 8°, 4x°
, 96° , 44°, 5x + 2. Therefore, the value of x can be found as follows
5x – 8° + 4x° + 96° + 44° + 5x + 2° = 540°
collect like terms
5x + 4x + 5x - 8 + 96 + 44 + 2 = 540°
14x + 134 = 540°
14x = 540 - 134
14x = 406
divide both sides by 14
x = 406/14
x = 29°
Therefore, the angles are as follows
29 × 5 - 8 = 137°
29 × 4 = 116°
96°
44°
5 × 29 + 2 = 147°
Rearrange the formula given to determine the slope, you will see that in y=mx+b form the slope is -2/3
You now have the slope (m) and two test points. Input those values into y=mx+b and you will have your answer!
I got y=(-2/3)x+(22/3) which I'm quite certain is correct.
