Answer:
y + 1 = 3(x + 8)
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in point- slope form is
y - b = m(x - a)
where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line
Here m = 3 and (a, b) = (- 8, - 1) , thus
y - (- 1) = 3(x - (- 8)), that is
y + 1 = 3(x + 8)
Answer:
Construct MN.
Since M is the midpoint of OA, OM = MA
Similarly, N is the midpoint of OB.
Thus, ON = NB.
Now, in Δs OMN and OAB,
∠MON = ∠AOB (common angle)
(sides are in proportional ratio; OA = 2OM and OB = 2ON)
∴ Δs OMN and OAB are similar (2 sides are in proportion, with the included angle)
Since they are similar, then ∠OMN = ∠OAB (corresponding angles of similar triangles are equal)
But since ∠OMN = ∠OAB, then that means MN || AB (corresponding angles of two lines must be equal since they also sit relative to the transverse line, OA)
Thus, AB || MN (QED)
In a parallelogram, if two opposites are congruent, then the two opposites are equal. We apply this description to solve the problem.
∠O = ∠M since they are opposite
2x = 3x - 55
55 = 3x - 2x
55 = x
Total of all angles in the parallelogram is 360°
∠L + ∠N +∠O +∠M=360°
360° - ∠O -∠M = ∠L + ∠N note that ∠L =∠N
360° -110° -110° = 2∠N
70° = ∠N
Solving for Y,
∠N = 5Y = 70°
Y=70/5
Y=14
Therefore, the value of "x" is 55 and the value of "y" is 14. The answer is the letter "C".
