Let's find the slope for line t first.

We can use the given points 2,6 and 10,1 to find the slope using the slope formula.

\frac{y.2 - y.1}{x.2 - x.1} = m

1 - 6 / 10 - 2

-5/8

The slope is -5/8.

Because we know the slope of this line, we can find the slope of the next line instantly, as they are perpendicular.

When a slope is perpendicular to another, it is equal to the negative reciprocal.

Negative reciprocal of -5/8 = 8/5

<h3>The slope of line u is 8/5</h3>

How do I solve #7? do i add all the angles together like a normal triangle and make it equal to 180?
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

126 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle: y = 180 - (5x + 4x)

Straight angle: y = 180 - (4x + 30)

180 - (5x + 4x) = 180 - (4x + 30)

5x + 4x = 4x + 30

5x = 30

x = 6

Angle:

y = 180 - (5x + 4x)

y = 180 - 9x

y = 180 - 9(6)

y =  126

14.7x + 4x = 0*(46y+39y) Y=14, Solve for X
Dovator [93]
14.7x + 4x = 0*(49y+39y) y = 14

18.7x = 0(686 + 546)

18.7x = 0

x = 0
