put the equation 2x - y = 16 in the form of y = mx + c

2x - y = 16

2x = 16 + y

y = 2x - 16

the slope of this line is 2. the slope of a line perpendicular to it would be the negative reciprocal of 2. in other words, it would multiply with 2 to give -1.

you can form this equation with that info

2x = -1

x = -1/2

you can flip and change the sign (numerator) of 2/1

2/1

= -1/2

Answer:

oh hey I gotchu-

first of all you are gonna make that into two rectangle by slicing the top off if that makes sense so you now have a large rectangle (11×12) and a small one (3×8) now you use the area formula for rectangles base×height so the small one becomes (3×8)=24 and the large one is (11×12)=132. now to make them into one shape for the total area you add those two values 132+24=156 so your total area is 156m²

Answer:

$\text{1. }50^{\circ}\\\text{2. }80^{\circ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The measure of an inscribed angle is always half the measure of the arc it forms. Since angle ACB forms arc AB with a measure of 100 degrees, the measure of angle ACB will be equal to $\frac{100}{2}=\boxed{50^{\circ}}$ .

2. Relating to problem 1, both inscribed angles marked in the figure form the same arc. All inscribed angles forming the same arc will have the same measure. Therefore, the measure of angle GEF is equal to $\boxed{80^{\circ}}$ .
