Answer:

y = 3x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we will solve for the slope (m).

The formula for slope is: m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

m = \frac{-17 - -20}{-8 - -9} --- enter the points into the formula

m = \frac{3}{1} --- simplify

m = 3 --- simplify

Now we will solve for the y-intercept (b).

y = mx + b

y = 3x + b --- substitute the slope into the equation

-20 = 3(-9) + b --- substitute the x and y of either point into the equation

-20 = -27 + b --- simplify

7 = b --- add 27 to both sides

b = 7

Done.

y = 3x + 7

Point Y is in the interior of ∠XWZ. Given that WX→ and WZ→ are are opposite rays, and m∠XWY=4(m∠YWZ) is m∠YWZ?.
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

m∠YWZ=36°

Step-by-step explanation:

Opposite rays are two rays that both start from a common point and go off in exactly opposite directions. Because of this the two rays (WX and WZ) form a single straight line through the common endpoint W.

If rays WX and WZ are opposite, then angle XWZ is straight angle. A straight angle always has the measure of 180°.

Point Y is in the interior of ∠XWZ, then angles XWY and EWZ are supplementary angles (together form straight angle XWZ). Supplementary angles always add up to 180°, then

m∠XWY+m∠YWZ=180°

You are given that

m∠XWY=4(m∠YWZ).

Substitute it into the previous equality:

4(m∠YWZ)+m\angle YWZ=180°

5(m∠YWZ)=180°

m∠YWZ=36°

Please Help ASAP!!! I'm Timed!!! Will give brainliest to first correct answer!!! Hurry!!
Inessa05 [86]

Answer: If you are reflecting the triangle(or coordinate points in general) off of the x or y axis on the upper quadrants, then the reflection would be negative for x.

If you are reflecting the triangle(or coordinate points in general) off of the x or y axis on the lower quadrants, then the reflection would be negative for y.

This is because the lower quadrants are usually negative and the upper quadrants are usually positive according to the x axis. The same thing vice verse with y.

These are the rules that I’m guessing your trying to find. Hope this helps!
