Answer:

y=1/4x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(1-(-2))/(8-(-4))

m=(1+2)/(8+4)

m=3/12

m=1/4

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(-2)=1/4(x-(-4))

y+2=1/4(x+4)

y=1/4x+4/4-2

y=1/4x+1-2

y=1/4x-1

In a triangle , the measure of the first angle is twice the measure of the second angle. The measure of the third angle is 100 m

madam [21]

Answer:

The three unknown angles X, Y , and Z are:

X = 40, Y = 20, and Z = 120

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's name X the measure of the first angle, Y the measure of the second one, and Z that of the third one.

Then we can create the following equations:

X = 2 Y

Z = 100 + Y

and

X + Y + Z = 180

So we use the first equation and the second one to substitute for the variable X and Z in the thrid equation:

2 Y + Y + (100 + Y) = 180

4 Y + 100 = 180

4 Y = 80

Y = 80/4 = 20

Then X = 40, Y = 20, and Z = 120

The ratio of green food coloring to blue food coloring is 1:2. we used 6 drops of blue. how many total drops of food coloring di

ehidna [41]

If the ratio of green to blue food coloring is 1:2 and 6 drops of blue was used, meaning that you basically multiplied 2 by 3 in order to get 6. Then the number of green drops would be 3 (1*3=3). 6+3=9
The total amount of drops of food coloring is then 9.

Hope this helps! (:
