180-2(55)-x=0
180-110-x=0
70-x=0
-x=-70
x=70°
Answer and explanation:
We know that this is in slope-intercept form. ( y = mx + b )
1/2 would be the slope (you would use this to graph the next point)
-4 would by your y-intercept (where the line crosses the x-axis)
With this information you could graph any point using the slope given, starting at -4 (x-axis) going down or up.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Rabbit: y=5x-7
Turtle: y=x
use substitution
x=5x-7
-4x=-7
x=7/4=1.75
1.75hr
L1: 2x+4y-3=0 ..........(1)
P: (2,0)
The point on the line L1 closest to the given point P is at the intersection of L1 with L2, which is the perpendicular passing through P.
Slope of L1=-2/4=-1/2
Slope of L2=-1/(-1/2)=2
Since it passes throug P(2,0), we can use the point-slope formula:
(y-0)=2(x-2) =>
L2: 2x-y-4=0.............(2)
Solve for x & y using (1) and (2) to get intersection point required:
(1)-(2)
2x-2x + 4y-(-y) -3 -(-4) =0
5y=-1, y=-1/5
Substitute y=1/5 in equation (1)
2x+4(-1/5)-3=0 =>
2x-19/5=0
x=19/10
=> the point on L1 closest to (2,0) is (19/10, -1/5)
