1.4 / 7
multiply by 10 in both up and down
(1.4*10) / (7*10)
14 / 70
divide by 7
(14/7) / (70/7)
2 / 10
divide by 2
(2/2) / (10/2)
1 / 5
a) find the slope of the line using the given points.
Slope: 9 - -3/6-0 then slope is 12/6 which is 2
Then using formula: y = mx+b
-3 = 2(0) + b
b = -3
The equation is: y = 2x -3
B. Slope of a perpendicular is -reciprocal of first line. So here the slope will be -1/2
y = mx + b is used again
2 = -1/2(0) + b
b = 2
The equation is: y = -1/2x +2
( 'x' is not 144 .)
The supplement of an angle is (180 - x) .
The problem says that (2/3) of 'x' is equal to (180 - x) .
180 - x = 2/3 x
Multiply each side by 3 :
( Note: 3 x 180 = 540 .)
540 - 3x = 2x
Add 3x to each side:
540 = 5x
Divide each side by 5 :
<u>x = 108°</u> .
