Hello!

$\large\boxed{x = 8}$

The two angles pictured are corresponding angles, so they are congruent.

Therefore:

17x - 4 = 12 + 15x

Isolate for x by subtracting 15x from both sides:

2x - 4 = 12

Add 4 to both sides:

2x = 16

Divide both sides by 2:

x = 8.

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

These angles are what we call corresponding angles. This simply means that they are the same. Therefore, we set 17x-4 equal to 12+15x. To isolate x, add 4 to both sides, and subtract 15x from both sides. 2x=16. x=8. To check, both angles = 132 degrees.

Answer:

angle x=40

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle CD on the bottom is a 180 angle. If you subtract it by 110 it's 70. The two bottom angles are equal so it also equals 70, add them and you get 140. Subtract 180 by 140 and it means x=40!

Which pairs of points would result in a line with a rate of change of 2:1? Select all that apply.

Helen [10]

Answer:

Options A, C, D are true.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to choose the pair of points from that given in the attached file which will result in a line with a rate of change i.e. slope of 2:1 i.e. 2.

A. The points are (-4,-11) and (-2,-7).

Then the slope of the joining line is $\frac{-7-(-11)}{-2-(-4)} =2$
