Answer:
118°
Step-by-step explanation:
When two parallel lines are cut by a tranversal, then the exterior angles are supplimentary and the corresponding angles are congruent.
Therefore the angle above (15x - 17)° is also (5x + 17)° and the angle below (5x + 17)° is also (15x - 17)°.
Angles on a straight line adds up to 180°. So to know the measure of the larger angle we must both equations and equal it to 180° to find x in order to know the larger angle.
(5x + 17) + (15x - 17) = 180
5x + 15x + 17 - 17 = 180
20x = 180
20x/20 = 180/20
x = 9°
Nkw let's substitute x = 9 into the equations
5x + 17 =
5(9) + 17 =
= 62°
15x - 17 =
15(9) - 17 =
= 118°
Both equations should add up to be 180°.
Therefore the measure of the largest angle is 118°.
Answer:
The slope is -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the roof is decreasing in height as it goes forward, I know that the slope must be negative. The equation to find the slope is rise/run. The vertical change, or the rise, is -6 feet, so that value goes on top of the fraction. The horizontal value, or the run, is 3 feet so that goes on the bottom of the fraction.
Now our fraction is 
If you simplify that fraction, you'll get -2.
Yes because if a negative sign is in a fraction doesnt matter where, it still show that the fraction is negative
Answer:
8. the length is 88/5cm or 17.6cm
Step-by-step explanation:
8.perimeter =2L + 2W
when you convert the width 42/5 = 8.4
so 52 = 2L + 2*8.4
52= 2L + 16.8
52 - 16.8 = 2L
35.2 = 2L
divide both sides by 2
L = 17.6cm
1) y=3x-4
When x increases by 1, y increases by 3 so the slope is rise/run → 3
y-int is -4 bc y-value is -4 when x=0
2)y=-3x+4
When x increase by 2, y decreases by 6 so the slope is rise/run → -3
y-int is 4 bc y-value is 4 when x=0
3)y=-1/3x+4
When x increase by 3, y decreases by 1 so the slope is rise/run → -1/3
y-int is 4 bc you now have the equation y=-1/3x+b and u just have to plug in random point from the graph, so ex, 6 into x and 2 into y. You can get 4 as b in the equation.
4)y=1/3x-4
When x increases by 6, y decreases by 2 so the slope is rise/run → 1/3
y-int is -4 bc u do the same thing as 3)
For ex, plug in 6 for x and -2 for y and you can get -4 as the b in the equation.
