Step-by-step explanation: A straight line is 180 degrees. The line with the two y degrees and the 35 degrees is a straight line, which is = 180 degrees. Because the y degrees are the same variable (y) they are equal degrees. All you need to do to find y is 180-35 =145. Divide that by 2 to find both y’s. 145 / 2 = 72.5. You can do the same for x, or realize that x and 35 are alternate interior angles, meaning they are the same measure: 35 degrees.
The graph is misleading because the year’s interval is not constant.
The first year to the second year, the gap is 1 year; in the second to the
third year, the gap is 2; in the third to the fourth year is 4; and the fourth
to the fifth year is 6.
