(In the picture, QRST looks like a rhombus, so I will assume that it is a rhombus.)

In a rhombus, opposite angles are congruent based on the alternate interior angle theorem. In other words, R and T along with Q and S are both alternate interior angle pairs.
(You can actually test this by printing out a rhombus, cutting out the angles, and matching up the opposite ones.)

We know that Q is equal to 4x + 10, but we need to solve for x. Since Q and S are congruent, we can set them equal to each other:
1) 4x + 10 = 5x - 3
2) 4x + 13 = 5x
3) 5x = 4x + 13
4) x = 13
Now let's plug 13 in for Q:
5) 4(13) + 10 = 52+10 = 62

I got m<Q = 62 degrees. Hope this helps!

IF P(A)=1/3, P(B)=2/5, and P(AuB)=3/5, what is P(A^B)?

Bumek [7]

The probability of the union of two events is the sum of their probability, minus the probability of their interserction:

$P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)$

If we plug the known values into this formula, we have

$\dfrac{3}{5} = \dfrac{1}{3} + \dfrac{2}{5} - P(A\cap B)$

From which we can deduce

$P(A\cap B) = \dfrac{1}{3} + \dfrac{2}{5} - \dfrac{3}{5} = \dfrac{2}{15}$

So, the probability of $A \setminus B$ is a bit less than $P(A)$ , we have to take away all events that belong to B as well:

$P(A \setminus B) = P(A) - P(A\cap B) = \dfrac{1}{3} - \dfrac{2}{15} = \dfrac{1}{5}$

Which of the following are point-slope equations of the line going through (3, 6) and (1, -2)?

Assoli18 [71]

Here, first we need to calculate the slope of the line,
m = y2 - y1 / x2-x1
m = 6 + 2 / 3 -1
m = 8/ 2
m = 4

Now, Take first coordinate: y - 6 = 4 (x - 3)
Second coordinate: y + 2 = 4 (x - 1)

In short, Your Answers would be Option A & F

Hope this helps!

2. y=2x+3

When x =0 and y= something, the 'something' is your y-intercept which is b in the y=mx+b formula. Then we look at what is changed in the x and y value to determine the m part. the x increase by 1 and y increase by 2 so the m part is 2.

3. y=-7x
Same as the last one, there is no y-inter this time because the y=0 when x=0/ So the y deceased by 7 each time and x incease by 1 so it is -7 for the m part.
