Answer:

y=1/4x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(6-2)/(12-(-4))=4/(12+4)=4/16=1/4

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-2=1/4(x-(-4))

y-2=1/4(x+4)

y=1/4x+4/4+2

y=1/4x+1+2

y=1/4x+3

The measures of three angles of a triangle are given by (8x - 5), (2x)º, and (3x – 10). What is the measure of the largest angle

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer: 115°

Step-by-step explanation:

We should note that the sum of the angles that are in a triangle is equal to 180°, therefore we will add the angles given and equate them to 180°. This will be:

(8x - 5) + (2x) + (3x - 10) = 180

8x - 5 + 2x + 3x - 10 = 180

Collect like terms

8x + 2x + 3x = 180 + 5 + 10

13x = 195

x = 195/13

x = 15

The angles are:

8x - 5 = 8(15) - 5 = 120 - 5 = 115°

2x = 2(15) = 30°

3x - 10 = 3(15) - 10 = 45 - 10 = 35°

Therefore, the largest angle is 115°

Janie receives an allowance of $3 per week. In addition, she can earn $2 for each chore she does. This week, she wants to earn e

Lilit [14]

Let us say that the number of weeks is "x" and the number of chores is "y".

If we state an algebraic expression for Janie's allowance it would be

3x+2y=13

However, there are two variables, hence many answers. To solve this problem, there must be more information about the relation between x and y.
