<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

The diagram for this problem is shown below. Point E is the intersection of the two diagonals and we know that:

\angle BCE=\beta \\ \\ \angle DCE=\theta

Every internal angle of any rectangle measures 90 degrees, so:

\beta +\alpha=90 \\ \\ (4x-23)+(5+5x)=90 \\ \\ \\ Isolating \ x: \\ \\ (4x+5x)+(5-23)=90 \\ \\ 9x-18=90 \\ \\ 9x=108 \\ \\ x=\frac{108}{9}=12

So:

\beta=4x-23=4(12)-23=25^{\circ}

So the measure of angle BEC can be found as follows:

We know that triangle ΔCEB is an isosceles triangle because the diagonals of any rectangle measure the same. So

\angle EBC=\beta

The sum of internal angles of any triangle add up to 180 degrees, so:

\beta + \beta+\angle BEC=180^{\circ} \\ \\ 2\beta+\angle BEC=180^{\circ} \\ \\ \angle BEC=180^{\circ}-2\beta \\ \\ \angle BEC=180^{\circ}-2(25^{\circ}) \\ \\ \angle BEC=180^{\circ}-50^{\circ} \\ \\ \boxed{\angle BEC=130^{\circ}}}

If 4 is the constant of proportionality is this equation correct? y = 4x + 2​
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

4 is not the constant. 2 is.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the following equation: y = 4x + 2

x and y are variables. x can be any given number, and y would be the resulting answer.

4 is not the constant, because the product it will produce varies on what x will be.

2 is a constant, because it will not change regardless what is put into x. It will continue to stay as 2.
