Write an equation of the line through each point. Use slope-intercept form (1,-1); parallel to y=2/5x-3

Y = 2/5x - 3....the slope here is 2/5. A parallel line will have the same slope.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 2/5
(1,-1)...x = 1 and y = -1
now we sub and find b, the y int
-1 = 2/5(1) + b
-1 = 2/5 + b
-1 - 2/5 = b
-5/5 - 2/5 = b
-7/5 = b

so ur parallel equation is : y = 2/5x - 7/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.

(4x + 11) is an exterior angle of the triangle , then

4x + 11 = 3x - 24 + 2x

4x + 11 = 5x - 24 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

- x + 11 = - 24 ( subtract 11 from both sides )

- x = - 35 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = 35 → A

How do you find the angle??

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

An obtuse triangle is a triangle that has a single obtuse angle, which is an angle that measures more than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees. Obtuse triangles, also referred to as oblique triangles, can be recognized by their having a single significantly larger angle and two smaller angles. Since every triangle has a measurement of 180 degrees, a triangle can only have one obtuse angle. You can calculate an obtuse triangle using the lengths of the triangle's sides.

Square the length of both sides of the triangle that intersect to create the obtuse angle, and add the squares together. For example, if the lengths of the sides measure 3 and 2, then squaring them would result in 9 and 4. Adding the squares together results in 13.

Square the length of the side opposite the obtuse angle. For the example, if the length is 4, then squaring it results in 16.

sarah can complete a project in 90 minutes and her sister betty can complete it in 120 minutes if they both work on the project

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

It will take them approximately 51.43 minutes to complete the project together

Step-by-step explanation:

This is what is called a "shared job" problem.

The best way to work on them is to start by finding the "portion" of the job done by each of the people in the unit of time.

So, for example, Sarah completes the project in 90 minutes, so in the unit of time (that is 1 minute) she completed 1/90 of the total project

Betty completes the project in 120 minutes, so in the unit of time (1 minute) she completes 1/120 of the total project.

We don't know how long it would take for them to complete the project when working together, so we call that time "x" (our unknown).

Now, when they work together completing the entire job in x minutes, in the unit of time they would have done 1/x of the total project.

In the unite of time, the fraction of the job done together (1/x) should equal the fraction of the job done by Sarah (1/90) plus the fraction of the job done by Betty. This in mathematical form becomes:

$\frac{1}{x} =\frac{1}{90} +\frac{1}{120}\\\frac{1}{x} =\frac{4}{360} +\frac{3}{360}\\\frac{1}{x} =\frac{7}{360} \\x=\frac{360}{7} \\x=51.43\,\,min$
