Answer:

- 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the gradient (slope) m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 5, - 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 3, - 8)

m = \frac{-8-(-2)}{-3-(-5)} = \frac{-8+2}{-3+5} = \frac{-6}{2} = - 3

A. -3(-1) + 7 = 4
3 + 7 = 4
11 = 4 (wrong)

B. 4x - 8 = 12
4(-1) - 8 = 12
-4 - 8 = 12
-12 = 12 (wrong)

C. -2x + 3 = 1
-2(-1) + 3 = 1
2 + 3 = 1
5 = 1 (wrong)

D. 8x + 5 = -3
8(-1) + 5 = -3
-8 + 5 = -3
-3 = -3 (correct!)

So, in conclusion, D is the correct answer.

xeze [42]

Answer:

x =  20

Step-by-step explanation:

The consecutive angles in a parallelogram are supplementary, sum to 180°

5x + 4x = 180

9x = 180 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = 20

Why is tangent's period 180 degrees?
Ostrovityanka [42]
In order for tan x = 0, sin x must be = 0 
<span>sin x = 0 at 0 degrees and 180 degrees </span>
<span>so, tan x = 0 at 0, pi </span>
<span>as for the period being pi, you need to have tan x be negative and positive </span>
<span>so remember the acronym All students take calculus ( ASTC) for where they are positive. </span>
<span>tan x is negative in Quadrant II and positive in Quadrant I, since it just repeats after that, the period therefore must be Pi.</span>
