Y = mx + b, where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept. If we were to consider a line of best fit that would represent all these points with a linear line, it'd cross the y-axis with a y-value of 10, so we can fill in y = mx + b to y = mx + 10. Now, it runs down from left to right, so we know the slope must be negative. The only equation that fits this description is y= -3/4x + 10

Complete Question:

The equation a= 180(n-2)/n represents the angle measures, a, in a regular n-sided polygon. When the equation is solved for n, n is equal to a fraction with a denominator of a – 180. What is the numerator of the fraction?

Answer:

The numerator of fraction is -360

Solution:

Given that,

The equation represents the angle measures, a, in a regular n-sided polygon is:

$a = \frac{180(n - 2)}{n}$

We have to solve the equation for "n"

Rearrange the equation

$a \times n = 180(n - 2)\\\\a \times n = 180n - 360\\\\an - 180 n = -360\\\\Take\ n\ as\ common\ factor\\\\n(a-180) = -360\\\\n = \frac{-360}{a - 180}$
