Answer:

y= -1\2x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+c

perpinicular means you flip the slop and change the sign so the slope(m) become -1\2

y=-1\2x+c

since he gives you (8,-8) meaning x=8 and y= -8

we substitute

-8=(-1\2 x 8) +c

now we isolate c

-8+4=c

c=-4

the equation will be

y= -1\2x-4

2. The sum of the measures of angle X and angle Y is 90. If the measure of angle X is 30 less than (1 point)

Mariulka [41]

Answer: angle y is 50°

Step-by-step explanation:

t + 2t - 30 = 90

3t -30 = 90

3t = 90+30

t = 120/3 = 40 = angle X

Angle y = 2t-30

y = 2*40-30

=80-30 = 50

Determine the value of angle ECB Please help me out!

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer: ∠ECB = 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the value of x by adding them up.

x + 3x + 2x = 6x

Since we know that all of the angles create a 180° angle, we can set up a proportion.

6x = 180°

To find the value of x, divide both sides by 6.

6x ÷ 6 = x

180 ÷ 6 = 30

So now the proportion is x = 30.

Now that we now x = 30, we can plug in 30 to the angle measures.

∠DCA = 30°

∠DCE = 90°

∠ECB = 60°

So angle ECB is 60°.

hope this helps!
