Using the formula to calculate slope:

m = y2 - y1/x2 - x1

m = -9 - (-7)/5 - 6

m = -2/-1

m = 2

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

$x=35^\circ$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram which I have drawn and attached below:

$56^\circ+y+51^\circ=180^\circ$ (Sum of Angles on a Straight Line)\\y=180^\circ-(56^\circ+51^\circ)\\y=73^\circ$

Next, in the triangle, the sum of the three interior angles:

$y+x+72^\circ=180^\circ\\$Since y=73^\circ\\73^\circ+x+72^\circ=180^\circ\\x=180^\circ-(73^\circ+72^\circ)\\x=35^\circ$

The value of angle x is 35 degrees.

What is the answer to the equation -7x-3x+2= -8x - 8

timama [110]

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

-7x-3x+2= -8x - 8

Add like terms

-7x-3x=-10x

-10x+2=-8x-8

+8x +8x

-2x+2=-8

-2 -2

-2x=-10

Divide by -2 to isolate the variable

x=5
