Two angles are congruent and supplementar

Mathematics
1 answer:
Romashka [77]4 years ago

<span>You are told that the two angles are supplementary. That means that when you add the measure 
of angle A (call it mA) and the measure of angle B (call it mB) the resulting sum is 180 degrees.
This relationship can be written in equation form as:
.
mA + mB = 180
.
You are also told that the two angles are congruent. This means that their measures 
are equal. You can write this relationship as the equation:
.
mA = mB
.
From this second equation you can see that wherever you have mA you can substitute mB
in its place because they are equals. So go back to the equation:
.
mA + mB = 180
.

In place of mA substitute mB. This makes the equation become:
.
mB + mB = 180
.
On the left side you can see that the sum is 2 times mB or 2*mB. Make this simplification
to get:
.
2*mB = 180
.
To solve for mB divide both sides of this equation by 2. When you do that division the
equation reduces to:
.
mB = 180/2 = 90
.
This tells you that the measure of angle B is 90 degrees, and that means that the measure
of angle A is also equal to 90 degrees because the two angles are congruent.

A student says that the slope pf the line for the equation y=20-15x is 20 and the y-intercept is 15. Find and correct the error.
Alla [95]
We have this equation for the slope is: y=mx+b which m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, so we have y=20-15x or y=-15x+20, and we already know that the slope is -15 and y-intercept is 20. As a result, the student's error is that he thinks that 20 is the slope because it is the first number. Hope it help!

Each of the line segments in the word MATH are numbered in the graph below. Find the slope (as a ratio of rise over run) of each
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

7. Line 1 = undefined.

Slope of a vertical line is always undefined. The run is zero as x-coordinate remains the same.

8. Line 2 = \frac{4}{3}

slope = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

slope = \frac{8 - 4}{-5 -(-8)}

slope = \frac{8 - 4}{-5 + 8}

slope = \frac{4}{3}

9. Line 3 = \frac{4}{3}

slope = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

slope = \frac{8 - 4}{-2 -(-5)}

slope = \frac{8 - 4}{-2 + 5}

slope = \frac{4}{3}

10. Line 4 = undefined (slope of a vertical line is always undefined)

11. Line 5 = \frac{7}{3}

slope = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

slope = \frac{8 - 1}{5 - 2}

slope = \frac{7}{3}

12. Line 6 = -\frac{7}{3}

slope = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

slope = \frac{8 - 1}{5 - 8}

slope = \frac{7}{-3}

slope = -\frac{7}{3}

13. Line 7 = 0

An horizontal line has no rise.

14. Line 8 = 0 (slope of horizontal line is always zero)

15. Line 9 = undefined (slope of a vertical line is always undefined)

16. Line 10 = undefined (slope of a vertical line is always undefined)

17. Line 11 = 0 (slope of horizontal line is always zero)

18. Line 12 = undefined (slope of a vertical line is always undefined)
