I believe the correct answer would be B. 88 Degrees, because 92 + 88 = 180. Hope this helped!

So the equation has to pass through (6,-1) and be perpendicular to y = -2x + 8.
The slope is -2, and to get the slope of a line perpendicular to another line you have to find the negative reciprocal of that slope. That means -2 is equal to
-2/1, and if you flip those numbers and find the opposite of that number making it positive, the slope of a line perpendicular to it is 1/2.
But the line also has to pass through (6,-1), so we have to find the y-intercept of the new line.
To do that, you multiply 6(the x) by the 1/2(the slope) and get 3. Then you subtract 3(previous answer) from -1(the y) and get -4. That means the y-intercept is -4!
All that's left is to build the equation with this information. The equation is:
y = -4 + 1/2x
Hope this helps!
Answer:
(-2,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
The solution is the point at which the two lines intersect, (-2,4). That point is the only one that satisfies (works) in both equations:
y = x + 6
4 = -2 + 6
and
y = -0.5x + 3
4 = -0.5(-2) + 3
4 = 1 + 3
====
You can also solve it algebraically:
y = x + 6
y = -0.5x + 3
-0.5x + 3 = x + 6 [Use the value of y from the second equation in the first equation]
-1.5x = 3
x = -2
Use this is y = -2 + 6:
y = 4
(-2,4)
It depends on which variable is eliminated.
If you multiply the second equation by -1 and eliminate the y:
3x - y = 7
-6x + y = -10
-3x = -3 or x = 1
If you multiply the first equation by -2 and eliminate the x:
-6x + 2y = -14
6x - y = 10
y = -4
Let cos x = a, then
2a^2 + a - 1 = 0,
solving the quadratic equation, we have:
a = 0.5 or -1.
i.e. cos x = 0.5 or cos x = -1
for cos x = 0.5,
x = pi/3, 2pi - pi/3 = pi/3, 5pi/3
for cos x = -1,
x = pi
therefore, x = pi, pi/3, 5pi/3
