Answer:

The desired equation is y = (-8/3)x + 26/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Moving from (1,6) to (4, -2) involves an increase of 3 in x and a decrease of 8 in y.  Thus, the slope of the line thru these two points is m = rise / run = -8/3.

Using the slope-intercept form of the eq'n of a straight line  and inserting the data given (slope = m = -8/3, x = 4,  y = -2), we get:

y = mx + b => -2 = (-8/3)(4) + b, or  -2 = -32/3 + b

Multiply all terms by 3 to clear out the fraction:

-6 = -32 + 3b.

Then 26 = 3b, and b = 26/3.

The desired equation is y = (-8/3)x + 26/3.

Answer:

70°

Step-by-step explanation:

since two lengths are equal to 3.5 that’s means there’s are two equal angles (55° and 55°)

a triangle adds up to 180°

so to find x we set this up:

x +55 +55 = 180

x + 110 = 180

x = 70°
