We know that m ║ n.

Let's first find the value 'x'.

When two lines are parallel, and a transversal is drawn, the angles on the same side of the transversal are equivalent.

This means that (5x + 16)° and (7x + 4)° are equivalent.

Equating them,

5x + 16 = 7x + 4

16 - 4 = 7x - 5x

12 = 2x

x = 12/2

x = 6°

Since we know the value of 'x', let's substitute them into the angles and find out the actual measurements.

5x + 16 = 5 × 6 + 16 = 30 + 16 = 46°.

7x + 4 = 7 × 6 + 4 = 42 + 4 = 46°.

Now let's find the value of 'y'.

If you observe carefully, (7x + 4)° and (y + 6)° form a linear pair.

This means that both those angles should add upto 180°.

Using that theory, the following equation can be framed:

(y + 6)°+ (7x + 4)° = 180°

Since we know the actual value of (7x + 4)°, let's substitute that value and move ahead.

(y + 6)° + 46° = 180°

y + 6 + 46° = 180

y + 52° = 180°

y = 180° - 52°

y = 128°

Therefore, the values of 'x' and 'y' are 46° and 128° respectively.

Hope it helps. :)

What is the slope of the line that contains these points? xxx -4−4minus, 4 -3−3minus, 3 -2−2minus, 2 -1−1minus, 1 yyy 222 555 88
Charra [1.4K]

Given:

The table of values is

x        y

-4      2

-3      5

-2       8

-1       11

To find:

The slope of the line that contains these points.

Solution:

From the given table consider any two point.

Let the line passes through the points (-4,2) and (-3,5). So, the equation of the line is

y-y_1=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)

y-2=\dfrac{5-2}{-3-(-4)}(x-(-4))

y-2=\dfrac{3}{-3+4}(x+4)

y-2=\dfrac{3}{1}(x+4)

Using distributive property, we get

y-2=3x+12

y=3x+12+2

y=3x+14

Therefore, the required equation of line is y=3x+14.
