Answer:
b = - 21
Step-by-step explanation:
calculate m using the gradient formula
m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, - 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 6, 3)
m =
=
= - 4
y = - 4x + b ← is the partial equation
to find b substitute either of the 2 given points into the partial equation
using (- 4, - 5 ), then
- 5 = 16 + b ⇒ b = - 5 - 16 = - 21
The graph is to the left of -3, so it's < or ≤.
The circle is filled in so -3 also satisfies the inequality, so it's ≤.
The answer is B. x≤-3.
Angles ∠MOK and ∠NOL are identical by opposite angle theorem.
∠M = ∠N through given information
∠MKO and ∠NLO are congruent. Since the other two angles of each triangle are equivalent, the last angle must be equivalent to the last angle of the other triangle. (180 - ∠1 -∠2 = ∠3); you could also prove ∠MKO = ∠NLO by stating that the opposite sides of the two angles are congruent.
ΔMKO and ΔNLO by Angle-Angle-Side theorem
since ΔMKO and ΔNLO, all corresponding parts of both triangles are congruent, so therefore MO ≅ NO
