Answer:
b = 55 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
The angles 30, a, b and 45 must sum up to 180 degrees
Subtracting (30 + 45) from both sides leaves us with a + b = 105 degrees.
But b = a + 5. Substituting a + 5 in the equation above yields
a + a + 5 = 105 degrees, so that
2a = 100 degrees, and a = 50 degrees. Then b = a + 5, or b = 55 degrees.
In standard form, slope is always the negative of the x coefficient over the y coefficient.
If you dont want to have that memorized, you can use algebra to get the equation of the line into slope-intercept form (y=mx+b)
Set it equal to y
2x - 5y = 6
2x = 5y + 6
2x - 6 = 5y
(2/5)x - 6/5 = y
Now it is in slope intercept form. In slope intercept form, the coefficient multiplying with x is the slope of the line. Therefore, the slope equals 2/5.
