Answer:

Segment AB is 10 units long.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a segment is bisected, it is divided into two segments of equivalent lengths. Because segment AB is bisected by point M it creates a line somewhat like this.

A --------------------M----------------------B

Thus, if segment Am is 5 units, because segment AM is congruent to BM, segment BM is 5 units as well. Thus, because AM + BM = AB, AB = 10 units.

What is the measure of angle VYZ

irakobra [83]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf C. \ 161 ^{ \circ}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Opposite angles are also congruent angles, meaning they are equal or have the same measurement.</em>

$\sf \implies \angle VYZ = \angle WYT \\ \\ \sf \implies(8x + 1) ^{ \circ} = (9x - 19)^{ \circ} \\ \\ \sf \implies 8x^{ \circ} + 1^{ \circ} = 9x^{ \circ} - 19^{ \circ} \\ \\ \sf \implies 8x^{ \circ} - 9x^{ \circ} + 1^{ \circ} = - 19^{ \circ} \\ \\ \sf \implies - x^{ \circ} = - 19^{ \circ} - 1^{ \circ} \\ \\ \sf \implies \cancel{ -} x^{ \circ} = \cancel{- }20^{ \circ} \\ \\ \sf \implies x^{ \circ} = 20^{ \circ}$

$\therefore$

$\sf \implies \angle VYZ =(8x + 1) ^{ \circ} \\ \\ \sf \implies \angle VYZ =(8 \times 20 + 1) ^{ \circ} \\ \\ \sf \implies \angle VYZ =( 160+ 1) ^{ \circ} \\ \\ \sf \implies \angle VYZ =161 ^{ \circ}$

Answer:

y = 1/2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to use slope-intercept form. Your y-intercept is already shown when x is zero, which is (0,-5). Your slope is defined as rise over run, so 1/2 in this case. This gives you an equation of f(x) = 1/2x-5

Convert 7.0055 into a mixed number in simplest form

Shtirlitz [24]

$7.0055 = 7 \dfrac{55}{10000} = 7 \dfrac{55 \div 5}{10000 \div 5} = 7 \dfrac{11}{2000}$
