Answer:

Denote that line: y = ax + b

Line passes (-2, 7) and (2,-5):

=> -2a + b =7

=> 2a + b = -5

Add both side of above equations:

=> 2b = 2

=> b = 1

=> a = (-5 - 1)/2 = -3

=> Slope a = -3

Hope this helps!

What is the value of m?

Dima020 [189]

$\huge \underline \mathcal{Answer}$

The given angles forms linear pair, and we know the angles forming linear pair are supplementary,

Therefore,

Angle MHJ + Angle MHL = 180°

Let's solve :

$(5m + 100) \degree + (2 m + 10) \degree = 180 \degree$

$7m + 110 \degree = 180 \degree$

$7m = 70 \degree$

$m = 10 \degree$

Value of variable m = 10°

1/5x-2/3y=30 when y=15

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Set y to 15 and solve

$\frac{1}{5}x - \frac{2}{3}*15=30$

$\frac{1}{5}x-10=30$

Add 10 to both sides

$\frac{1}{5}x-10+10=30+10$

$\frac{1}{5}x=40$

Multiply both sides by 5

$\frac{1}{5}x*\frac{5}{1}=40*\frac{5}{1}$

$x=200$

Answer: $x=200$
