Answer: Y=-1
Explanation: 2y-3=y-4 (add three on both sides)
2y=y-1 (subtract y on both sides)
y=-1
You start by finding the slope : y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
2 - 8 / 4 - (-16)
- 6 / 20
m = - 3 / 10
Point slope form : y - y1 = m( x- x1 )
You can pick either of the coordinates and substitute them in
POINT SLOPE FORM EQUATION : y - 8 = -3/10 ( x + 16 )
Answer:
m∠RQS = 72°
m∠TQS = 83°
Step-by-step explanation:
m∠RQS +m ∠TQS = m∠RQT
The two angles combine to make a larger angle
So
m∠RQS = (4x - 20)
m∠TQS = (3x + 14)
(4x - 20) + (3x + 14) = 155
Group the Xs and the constants
4x + 3x - 20 + 14 = 155
Combine like terms
7x - 6 = 155
Add 6 to both sides
7x = 161
Divide by 7 on both sides
x = 23
Check:
4(23) - 20 + 3(23) + 14 = 155
92 - 20 + 69 + 14 = 155
155 = 155
But we need to find m∠RQS and m∠TQS. So plug in x = 23 to the values.
m∠RQS = 4(23) - 20 = 72°
m∠TQS = 3(23) + 14 = 83°
Checking:
72 + 83 = 155
The answer is 30%.... because 50/65 is .3
