Answer:

m∠PRT = 114°

m∠T = 37°

m∠RPT = 29°

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is incomplete (without a picture) ; here is the picture attached.

In this picture, an airplane is at an altitude 12000 feet.

When the plane is at the point P, pilot can observe two towns at R and T in front of plane.

We have to find the measure of ∠PRT, ∠T and ∠RPT.

Form the figure attached segment PS is parallel to RT and PR is a transverse.

We know that internal angles formed on one side of the parallel lines by a transverse are supplementary.

Therefore, x + 66 = 180

x = 180 - 66 = 114°

∠PRT = x = 114°

m∠RPT = m∠SPR - m∠SPT

             = 66 - 37

             = 29°

Since m∠PRT + m∠T + m∠RPT = 180°

114 + ∠T + 29 = 180

143 + ∠T = 180

∠T = 180 - 143

∠T = 37°

What is the slope of the line through (-9, 6) and (-3, 9)?<br> Choose 1 answer:
trasher [3.6K]

Given: Points (-9, 6) and (-3, 9)

Find:  The slope of the line that goes through those two points

Solution: In order to find the slope of the line that goes through the points that were provided we have to use the slope formula.  This formula subtracts the y-coordinates from each other and also the x-coordinates from each other to determine the rise/run which would give us the rate of change.

<u>Plug in the values</u>

  • m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
  • m = \frac{9 - 6}{-3 - (-9)}

<u>Simplify the expression</u>

  • m = \frac{3}{-3 + 9}
  • m = \frac{3}{6}
  • m = \frac{1}{2}

Therefore, looking at the given options we can see that the best fitting one would be option A, 1/2.
