Answer:
by doing it the same way you did with the first one.
Step-by-step explanation:
Interior angles on parallel lines cut by a traversal are supplementary (they add up to 180°). These can be identified as "c" angles, due to their shape. Knowing this, we can figure out the value of x:
7x+(2x+36)=180
7x+2x+36=180
Simplify the equation
9x+36=180
Collect like terms
9x=144
Divide by 9 on both sides to isolate x
x=16
To find the slope, u need to put the equation in y = mx + b form, where m will be ur slope.
2x - 4y = 10 ... subtract 2x from both sides
-4y = -2x + 10...divide both sides by -4
y = (-2/-4)x + (-10/4)
y = 1/2x - 5/2
y = mx + b
y = (1/2)x - 5/2
the slope(m) = 1/2
