Let us start with the unknown. Let us give one of the base angles the
value of x. The other base angle is also x since both the base angles in
an isosceles triangle will be equal. The remaining angle is 40 more
than three times one of the base angles.It is 3x + 40. Here we get the
equation
x+x+3x+40=180
5x + 40 = 180
5x = 180 - 40 = 140
Therefore x = 140/5 = 28
So the angles are 28, 28 and 124.
The third angle is 3 times 28 + 40 = 84 + 40 = 124.
Write the equation of the lines in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b)
First equation: It is already in slope-intercept form
Second equation: solve y:
Identify the slope of each line:
If two or more lines have the same slope then the lines are parallel
If two lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals then the lines are perpendicular
The two given lines have the same slope: 2/5. Then, they are parallel lines
Answer:
C)
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that one of the lines is simply y=-1 for any x, so we can dismiss the only answer without y=-1. That rejected answer is A)
Now let's notice, that the other line is decreasing y when increasing x. That tells us that in the equation y = ax + b, a has to be negative. This brings us to reject option D).
What is the y of that line for x = 0? Because y = ax + b, for x = 0 we will get the value of b. This is called the intercept. The line is at y=4 for x=0, so we know that the b in the equation must be positive 4. This fits answer C, but rejects answer B). And so, we have found that C) is the only possible answer.
Since it is mid-way you would multiply it by 2 so, 8x2=16
Your answer is 16.
Hope I helped <3
