Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The tangent- tangent angle WVU is half the difference of the measure of the intercepted arcs. , that is
5x + 17 = (37x + 5 - (23x - 5) )
5x + 17 = (37x + 5 - 23x + 5)
5x + 17 = (14x + 10) ← multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )
10x + 34 = 14x + 10 ( subtract 14x from both sides )
- 4x + 34 = 10 ( subtract 34 from both sides )
- 4x = - 24 ( divide both sides by - 4 )
x = 6

The slope of the perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of that of the given line, so is
-1/(3/5) = -5/3
Then the point-slope equation of the perpendicular line can be written as
y = (-5/3)(x -15) -5
y = (-5/3)x +20
The y-intercept of the perpendicular line is y=20.
-1/(3/5) = -5/3
Then the point-slope equation of the perpendicular line can be written as
y = (-5/3)(x -15) -5
y = (-5/3)x +20
The y-intercept of the perpendicular line is y=20.
