Answer:

option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of interior angles of a polygon with n sides:

                                                                          = (n - 2 )\times 180

Therefore, Each \ interior \  angle = (\frac{n - 2}{n} )\times 180

Sum \  of \  one \  of \  the  \ interior \  angle \  with  \ its  \ exterior \  angle \  is \  180^\circ

                      [ \ because \ straight \ line \ angle = 180^\circ \ ]

That is ,

Exterior \ angle + Interior \ angle = 180^\circ\\\\40^ \circ + (\frac{n-2}{n}) \times 180  = 180^\circ\\\\40 n + 180n - 360 = 180n\\\\40n = 180n - 180n + 360 \\\\40n = 360 \\\\n = 9

OR

Sum of exterior angles of a regular polygon = 360

Given 1 exterior angle of the regular polygon is  40

Therefore ,

               n \times 40 = 360\\\\n  = \frac{360}{40} \\\\n = 9

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

y = (2 - 7) / (6 - (-9)) * (x - (-9)) + 7

y = -5 / (6 + 9) * (x + 9) + 7

y = -5 / 15 * (x + 9) + 7

y = -1/3 * (x + 9) + 7

y = -1/3 * x - 3 + 7

y = -1/3 * x + 4
