A. An angle and its supplement equals 180∘ . So subtract 55∘ from 180∘ to get the supplemental angle.
B. The supplement of 170 degrees is 180-170 = 10 degrees. The complement of 55 is 90 - 55.
sorry i don't know the number to C, but i hope i helped a little <3
Answer:
y = 0.5x + 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
I just graphed the points with GeoGebra. Hope this Helps!
Use slope formula: y2-y1/x2-x1
XZ: -5/9
YZ: 2/7
XY: -7/2
XYZ is a right triangle because two of these slopes have a product of -1.
(YZ and XY does). We are all busy these days.
If these are terms of a geometric sequence, they have a common ratio. That is, ...
... (k -1)/(2(1 -k)) = (k +8)/(k -1)
... (k -1)² = 2(1 -k)(k +8) . . . . . multiply by the product of the denominators.
... k² -2k +1 = -2k² -14k +16 . . . eliminate parentheses
... 3k² +12k -15 = 0 . . . . . . . . put in standard form (subtract the right side)
... 3(k +5)(k -1) = 0 . . . . . . . . . factor
Possible values of k are ... -5, +1. The solution k=1 is extraneous, as it makes the first two terms 0 and the third term 8. (It doesn't work.)
The value of k is -5.
_____
The three terms are 12, -6, 3. The common ratio is -1/2.
