Solve each prportion. (2/y-4)=(y+3/4)

Mathematics

Answer:

y = 5, -4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve proportions you cross-multiply.

\frac{2}{y-4} =\frac{y+3}{4} \rightarrow 2\times4 = (y-4)\times(y+3) \rightarrow 8=y^2-y-12

Now that we have 8 = y^2 - y - 12, we must make the entire trinomial equal to 0 by subtracting 8 from both sides.

y^2 - y - 20 = 0

Factor the trinomial.

(y - 5)(y + 4) = 0

Make both factors equal to 0 to solve for both values of y.

  • y - 5 = 0 --> y = 5
  • y + 4 = 0 --> y = -4

y = 5, -4

A line intersects the points (6, -12) and (15, -3). What is the slope intercept equation for this line?
Korolek [52]
Let's say that the unknown value here is c. Although we are given two points on the line, it is only necessary to use one as there is only one unknown value, so let's say we choose the point (6, -12) and substitute this into the equation:

-12 = 1(6) - c
-12 - 6 = -c
-18 = -c
c = 18

Thus the equation for the line is y = 1x - 18

True or false Exterior angles are the angles created when the sides of the triangle are shortened.
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

The statement is false. Exterior angles are the angles created when the sides of the triangle are extended

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the exterior angle of a polygon, the side of the polygon is extended to go past the vertex of the polygon to form an angle adjacent and supplementary to the the interior angle of the polygon at the vertex of the polygon where the exterior angle is formed.

The sum of the exterior angle and the adjacent interior angle is equal to 180°

The exterior angle can also be described as being formed by one side of a polygon and an extension of the adjacent side to previous side of the same polygon and it can also be referred to as a turning or an external angle.
