To write the equation of a line, we use the equation: y = mx +b.
m is the slope of the line, which can be calculated using the equation:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
We can choose any two points on the line to put into this equation. The red dots are at (0,0) and (-6,-2), so we will use those, but you would get the same answer by using any other pair of coordinates on the blue line.
m = (-2 - 0)/(-6 - 0) = 2/6 = 1/3
b is the y-intercept of the line. The y-intercept is the y-coordinate when the line crosses the y-axis. It crosses the y-axis at (0,0), so the y-intercept is 0.
Now, we plug our values back into the full equation to get the equation of the line.
y = mx + b
y = (1/3)x + 0
So the final answer is y = (1/3)x or y = x/3, depending on how you want to write it.
Step-by-step explanation:
5.
angle STQ is the supplementary angle (together they are 180° below line MQ) to 2x + 8.
above ST we have a group of 3 angles that combine to 180° :
2x + 8
90°
71 - x
so, to get x first :
2x + 8 + 90 + 71 - x = 180
x + 169 = 180
x = 11
so, the angle MTS =
2x + 8 = 2×11 + 8 = 22 + 8 = 30°.
6.
therefore, the angle STQ is
180 - angle MTS = 180 - 30 = 150°.

Answer:
x = 8 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that the ratio of the middle-length legs is 12/18, and that of the shortest-length legs is x/12.
Then:
12 x
----- = -----
18 12
... which, through cross- multiplication, becomes 18x = 144. Then x = 8 units
