Complete the point slope equation of the line through (-5, 7) and (-4, 0).​
IgorLugansk [536]

For this case we have that by definition, the point-slope equation of a line is given by:

y = mx + b

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

We have two points:

(x_ {1}, y_ {1}): (- 5,7)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}): (- 4,0)

We found the slope:

m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}} =  \frac {0-7} {- 4 - (- 5)} = \frac {-7} {-4 + 5} = \frac {-7} {1} = - 7

Thus, the equation is of the form:

y = -7x + b

We substitute one of the points and find "b":

0 = -7 (-4) + b\\0 = 28 + b\\b = -28

Finally, the equation is:

y = -7x-28

Answer:

y = -7x-28

An equilateral triangle and an isosceles triangle share a common side. What is the measure of angle ABC?
o-na [289]

Answer:

Therefore ,the measure of angle ABC = 116°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Δ CBD is an Equilateral Triangle

BC = BD = CD

Δ ABD is an Isosceles Triangle

AB = BD

To Find:

m∠ ABC = ?

Solution:

Property For an Equilateral Triangle:

All the measure of Each of the angles angles of a triangle is 60°.

Δ CBD is an Equilateral Triangle   ..........Given

∴ m∠ CBD = 60° ....................( 1 )

Property For an Isosceles Triangle:

Any two of the base angles are equal.

Δ ABD is an Isosceles Triangle ................Given

∴ m∠ BAD = m∠ BDA = 62°  .....................( 2 )

Property of Triangle:

SUM of the measure of an angles of a triangle is 180°

In Δ BAD,

m∠ ABD + m∠ BAD + m∠ BDA = 180°

Substituting the values from equation ( 2 ) in it we get

m∠ ABD + 62 + 62 = 180

∴ m∠ ABD = 180 -124

∴ m∠ ABD = 56°     ................( 3 )

Now By angle addition property we have

m∠ ABC = m∠ ABD  + m∠ CBD

Substituting the values from equation 1 and equation 3 we get

∴ m∠ ABC = 56 + 60

∴ m∠ ABC = 116°

Therefore ,the measure of angle ABC = 116°.
