For the lines to be parallel, the slope must be the same

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = slope

(7- (-3)) / (b-2) = -2

-2 (b-2) = 10

-2b + 4 = 10

-2b = 6

b = -3

What do you know to be true about the values of p and q?

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°, thus

p = 180° - (80 + 20)° = 180° - 100° = 80° and

q = 180° - (45 + 55)° = 180° - 100° = 80°

Thus p = q → B
