Answer:

$\large\boxed{y=-\dfrac{2}{5}x-5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

$y=mx+b$

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have

$m=-\dfrac{2}{5},\ b=-5$

Substitute:

$y=-\dfrac{2}{5}x+(-5)}=-\dfrac{2}{5}x-5$

Quadrilateral OPQR is inscribed inside a circle as shown below. What is the measure of angle Q? You must show all work and calcu

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

the measure of angle Q = 92°

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadrilateral OPQR is inscribed inside a circle, then its opposite angles are supplementary.

………………………………

Then

m∠O + m∠Q = 180

Then

2x + (2x+4) = 180

Then

4x + 4 = 180

Then

4x = 180 - 4

Then

4x = 176

Then

x = 176/4

Then

x = 44

Therefore

m∠Q = 2(44) + 4 = 88 + 4 = 92°

What is the sum of x^2 - 3x + 7 and 3x^2 + 5x - 9

Dmitrij [34]

Hey there!

The answer to your question is $4x^2+2x-2$

Given:

$x^2-3x+7$ $and$ $3x^2 +5x-9$

First, we can start by adding like terms. The following are like terms:

$x^2$ $and$ $3x^2$

$-3x$ $and$ $5x$

$7$ $and$ $-9$

Now, we can add these pairs together, giving us:

$4x^2$

$2x$

$-2$

Now, add all this together, and we get our answer as:

$4x^2 + 2x - 2$

Have a terrificly amazing day!
