Answer:
y - 7 = -4/3(x + 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given</u>
<u>Convert to point slope form</u>
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
m: represents what the slope is
y - 7 = -4/3(x + 1)
<u>Distribute -4/3</u>
-4/3 * x = -4/3x
-4/3 * 1 = -4/3
y - 7 = -4/3x - 4/3
<u>Add seven in both sides</u>
21/3 -4/3 = 17/3
y = -4/3x + 17/2
<u>Answer</u>
linear equation: y = -4/3x + 17/2
point-slope form: y - 7 = -4/3(x + 1)
Answer:
m<C = 42°
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
m<A = (2x - 2)°
m<C = (4x - 6)°
m<DBC = (5x + 4)°
Thus:
m<DBC = m<A + m<C (exterior angle theorem of a triangle)
(5x + 4)° = (2x - 2)° + (4x - 6)°
Solve for x
5x + 4 = 2x - 2 + 4x - 6
Collect like terms
5x + 4 = 6x - 8
5x - 6x = -4 - 8
-x = -12
Divide both sides by -1
x = 12
✔️m<C = (4x - 6)°
Plug in the value of x
m<C = 4(12) - 6 = 48 - 6
m<C = 42°
