Pretend these are coordinates that you can use to find the slope of the line.
(10, 40) and (15, 60). Fit these into the slope formula to find the slope of the line you are looking for:

and the slope is 4. Now use one of the points and the slope of 4 to solve for b, the y-intercept:
40 = 4(10) + b so b = 0. The equation of the line then is y = 4x + 0 or just
y = 4x
The question isn’t equal to 90° it’s equal to 180° because the line is straight it’s not a right angle. so when u equal the whole equation to 180°, you get x=18.75. then plug in the number to find the degree of each.
so angle of department would be 139.25° and angle of gas station would be 40.75°
Answer is a= 51/7 or 7 2/7
Step by step
-2/3 (a + 3) = 5/3a - 19
Distribute to resolve parentheses
-2/3a -2 = 5/3a - 19
Now to move variables to one side
Add 2/3a to both sides
-2/3a + 2/3a -2 = 5/3a + 2/3a -19
Combine like terms
-2 = 7/3a -19
Add 19 to both sides to isolate variable
-2 +19 = 7/3a -19 + 19
17 = 7/3a
Divide both sides by 7/3 to solve for a
(Remember when you divide a fraction, flip it and multiply.)
17 * 3/7 = a
51/7 = a
Picture attached shows steps in order, I think that is what you also needed?
Answer:
y = 5/8x + 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope = change in y/change in x
slope = 5/8
Using y = mx + b find b.
y = 5/8x + b
-2 = 5/8(-4) + b
b = 1/2
y = 5/8x + 12
