Consider the line y=-1/2x+8
1 answer:
Given parameters:
Equation of the line is y = - + 8
Unknown:
Slope of line parallel to this line = ?
Slope of line perpendicular = ?
Solution:
A line parallel to this line will have the same slope with it.
A line perpendicular will have the negative inverse of this slope;
Slope of line = -
Slope of line parallel to this line =
Slope of line perpendicular = negative inverse = -( -()) = 2
So, the slope of line parallel to this line is - 1/2 and that perpendicular is 2

We know that angle MKJ is comprised of angle MKL and angle LKJ. That means if we add MKL and LKJ, we should get 80 degrees, which is the measure of angle MKJ.
So, we know that our x is 15. That is not enough to tell whether KL is an angle bisector, because we have to evaluate both MKL and LKJ with x=15, so:
So we see that these two angles are actually bisectors, and the third question best describes this phenomenon.
