Answer:

- $\frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope (gradient) and c the y- intercept )

Given

2y = - 3x - 8 ( divide all terms by 2 )

y = - $\frac{3}{2}$ x - 4 ← in slope- intercept form

with gradient = - $\frac{3}{2}$

Prove ABC~EDC ?

erastova [34]

Answer:

AA similarity theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

<u>AA (Angle-Angle) Similarity</u> states that In two triangles, if two pairs of corresponding angles are congruent, then the triangles are similar

In this problem we have that

∠BCA=∠ECD ----> by vertical angles

∠BAC=∠DEC ---> because AB is parallel to ED (alternate interior angles)

therefore

Triangles ABC and EDC are similar by AA similarity theorem

A circle has a radius of 7.5 centimeters and a central angle AOB that measures 90 degrees. What is the length of the intercepted

Julli [10]

Since there are $360^{\circ}$ in a circle, and central $\angle AOB = 90^{\circ}$ , you can see that the part "sliced out" by the central angle is $\frac{90^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} = \frac{1}{4}$ of the whole circle.

This means that the length of the intercepted arc $\stackrel{\frown}{AB}$ is $\frac{1}{4}$ of the circumference of the circle. So,

$\stackrel{\frown}{AB} = \frac{1}{4}(2 \pi r) = \frac{1}{4}(2 \pi (7.5 cm)) = \bf \frac{15 \pi}{4} cm$
