In the image shown, line n is a transversal cutting parallel lines l and m. ∠1 = 3x + 18 ∠7 = 2x + 39 What is the measure of ∠7?
A) 79° B) 81° C) 83° D) 86°
2 answers:
Answer:
B) 81°
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
From the figure given below,
∠1 = 3x + 18
∠7 = 2x + 39
∠1 and ∠7 are a pair of exterior alternate angles. For two parallel lines l and m, cut by a transversal n, the pair of exterior alternate angles are congruent to each other.
Therefore, the angles 1 and 7 are congruent to each other. This gives,
∠1 ≅ ∠7
Therefore, the value of 'x' is 21.
Now, the measure of angle 7 can be calculated by plugging in the value of 'x' in the expression for angle 7. This gives,
Therefore, the correct option is option (B).

Answer:
Therefore, equation of the line that passes through (16,-7) and is perpendicular to the line is
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
To Find:
Equation of line passing through ( 16, -7) and is perpendicular to the line
Solution:
...........Given
Comparing with,
Where m =slope
We get
We know that for Perpendicular lines have product slopes = -1.
Substituting m1 we get m2 as
Therefore the slope of the required line passing through (16 , -7) will have the slope,
Now the equation of line in slope point form given by
Substituting the point (16 , -7) and slope m2 we will get the required equation of the line,
Therefore, equation of the line that passes through (16,-7) and is perpendicular to the line is
