Answer:

QR=8

QU=76

Measure of arc ST=114°

Measure of arc QR=114°

Measure of arc XT=57°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

YU=YV

ST=16

mQS=34

mRT=98

We will use pythagoras theorem,

QR=8

QU=76

QR=ST

Since they span the same arc, let the arc be x.

360 - QS - RT = QR + ST

Recall that QR=ST

360 - 34 - 98 = x + x

228 = 2x

Divide both side by 2

X= 228/2

X=114°

Therefore, the measure of the arc ST and the arc QR=114°

Measure of span of arc XT will be:

= 1/2× (arc ST)

= 1/2 × 114

= 57°

What is the equation of a line parallel to y=1/2×+6 that passes through (-4,1)

IgorC [24]

keeping in mind that parallel lines have exactly the same slope, let's check for the slope of the equation above

$y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{\cfrac{1}{2}}x+6\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}$

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 1/2 and passes through (-4 , 1)

$(\stackrel{x_1}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m} ~=~ \cfrac{1}{2} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{1}=\stackrel{m}{ \cfrac{1}{2}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-4)}) \\\\\\ y-1=\cfrac{1}{2}(x+4)\implies y-1=\cfrac{1}{2}x+2\implies y=\cfrac{1}{2}x+3$
