Answer:

y=0.25x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

Attached is a picture of point-slope form. m=slope

We already have been given the slope 0.25

1) Plug in 0.25 as m in point-slope form:

y-y₁=0.25(x-x₁)

2) Now plug in the points as x₁ and y₁ respectively:

y-5=0.25(x-12)

3) Distribute 0.25 to x and -12:

y-5=0.25x-3

4) Add 5 to both sides:

y=0.25x+2

Footnotes:

- If you are only required to answer in point-slope form, the answer would be y-5=0.25(x-12)

-If you are required to answer in slope intercept form, the answer would be

y=0.25x+2

Let me know if you have any questions :)

The ratio of the angles of a triangle is 5:2/3:1. what are the measures of all three angles

Art [367]

The ratio of the angles of a triangle is 5: 2/3: 1 Then the measure of all three angles are 135, 18, 27 respectively.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that, the ratio of the angles of a triangle is $5: \frac{2}{3}: 1$

We have to find what are the measures of all three angles.

Let us suppose, "x" is the highest common factor of three angles.

Then, the three angles will be $5x, \frac{2}{3}x, x$

Now, we know that, sum of angles of a triangle equals to 180

$\text { Then, } 5 x+\frac{2}{3} x+x=180$

$\begin{array}{ll}{\rightarrow} & {6 x+\frac{2}{3} x=180} \\\\ {\Rightarrow} & {x\left(6+\frac{2}{3}\right)=180} \\\\ {\Rightarrow} & {x\left(\frac{6 \times 3+2}{3}\right)=180} \\\\ {\Rightarrow} & {x\left(\frac{18+2}{3}\right)=180} \\\\ {\Rightarrow} & {x \times \frac{20}{3}=180} \\\\ {\Rightarrow} & {x=180 \times \frac{3}{20}} \\\\ {\Rightarrow} & {x=9 \times 3=27}\end{array}$
