Find the value of x for which line a is parallel to line b

Mathematics
1 answer:
Eva8 [605]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

The question tells us that line a is parallel to line b (even if they don't seem to be in the image).

∠8 = ∠4 and ∠5 = ∠1 since line t crosses the parallel lines.

We are given ∠4 = 3x and ∠5 = 6x.

Since we know ∠8 = ∠4 , we can then say

∠8 = 3x and ∠5 = 6x

Since ∠8 and ∠5 are complementary and combined they form a flat angle of 180 degrees, we can say:

3x + 6x = 180

9x = 180

x = 20

podryga [215]

Answer:

y=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

If the line is parallel to the x-axis then it is a horizontal line with slope 0. These lines have form y=b where b is the y-intercept or y value of all points. y=-3 is the line since (2,-3) is on the line.
