Answer:
A.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given a diagram. We are asked to find the measure of angle ABC.
First of all, we will find measure of major arc AC by subtracting 146 from 360 degrees.

Now, we will use tangent-tangent angle theorem to solve for ABC.
Tangent-Tangent angle theorem states that angle formed by two tangents outside a circle is half the difference of intercepted arcs.

Therefore, the measure of angle ABC is 34 degrees and option A is the correct choice.

Answer:

$y=\frac{3}{2} x-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

What we need to know:

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form:

$y=mx+b$ where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis)

Parallel lines will always have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

1) Determine the slope of the parallel line

Organize 3x = 2y into slope-intercept form. Why? So we can easily identify the slope, m.

$3x = 2y$

Switch the sides

$2y=3x$

Divide both sides by 2 to isolate y

$\frac{2y}{2} = \frac{3}{2} x\\y=\frac{3}{2} x$

Now that this equation is in slope-intercept form, we can easily identify that $\frac{3}{2}$ is in the place of m. Therefore, because parallel lines have the same slope, the parallel line we're solving for now will also have the slope $\frac{3}{2}$ . Plug this into $y=mx+b$ :
