17 because you multiply the 17 and x
Answer:
m∠A = 15°; m∠B = 89°; m∠C = 76°
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the three interior angles of a triangle is 180°.
Let x = m∠A
Then 3x + 44 = m∠B
and x + 61 = m∠C
x + 3x + 44 + x + 61 = 180
5x + 105 = 180
5x = 75
x = 15
m∠A = 15°
m∠B = 3(15) + 44 = 45 + 44 = 89°
m∠C = 15 + 61 = <u> 76°</u>
Sum = 180°
C is the answer. Congruent is just a synonym of similar therefore C is the answer.
Find the equation of the first line using the two given points: (1,-1) (-1,-5)
Slope = change in Y over change in x:
Slope = (-5-(-1)) / (-1-(1) = -4/-2 = 2
Now find y intercept: y - y1 = m(x-x1) = y -(-1) = 2(x-1)
Simplify to get y = 2x-3
Now a perpendicular line has a opposite reciprocal slope.
The perpendicular line would be y = -1/2x - 3
You are told the y intercept is -4 units greater, so add -4 to -3 to get -7
The answer would be A. y = -1/2x-7
