On the bottom line, the 106 and number 1 make a straight line and needs to equal 180 degrees.
This means number 1 = 180-106 = 74 degrees.
Because x and y are parallel, the top outside angle is the same as number 1.
6x +8 = 74
Subtract 8 from both sides:
6x = 66
divide both sides by 6:
x = 66 / 6
x = 11
Now you have x, replace x in the equation for 7x-2 to find that angle:
7(11) -2 = 77-2 = 75 degrees.
The three inside angles need to equal 180 degrees.
Angle 2 = 180 - 74 - 75 = 31 degrees.
The equation of the line parallel to 5x+2y=12 and passes through the point (-2, 4) is equal to y= -5/2x - 1
The equation would be 3l-5.
