<span>As you look at the graph from left to right (increasing x), if the line is going up(increasing y), slope is positive.

.
If it's going down (decreasing y), slope is negative.

If the slope in the graph is positive, the line starts from bottom left towards the top right.
If the slope in the graph is negative, the line starts from the upper left to the bottom right.

The given polygon isa pentagon and the sum of its exterior angle is 360°. The value of x from the given polygon is 8

<h3>Sum of the exterior angle of a polygon</h3>

The given polygon isa pentagon and the sum of its exterior angle is 360°.

Take the sum of the angles and equate to 360° as shown;

77 + 66 + 62+ 59 + 12x = 360°

264 + 12x = 360

12x = 96

x = 8

Hence the value of x from the given polygon is 8

A circle has a radius of 10 inches. Find the approximate length of the arc intersected by a central angle of 2(pi)/3

Svetach [21]

$\bf \textit{arc's length}\\\\ s=r\theta ~~ \begin{cases} r=&radius\\ \theta =&angle~in\\ &radians\\ \cline{1-2} r=&10\\ \theta =&\frac{2\pi }{3} \end{cases}\implies s=10\left( \cfrac{2\pi }{3} \right)\implies s=\cfrac{20\pi }{3}\implies s\approx 20.94$
