Answer: x = 108

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we're given a diagram and

we're asked to find the value of x that would make m ll n.

We can see that the angles that are marked in the diagram

are same-side interior angles since they lie on the same side

of the transversal and they lie on the interior of lines m and n.

Therefore, in order for line m to be parallel to line n,

these angles must be supplementary.

In other words, they must add to 180 degrees.

So we can setup the equation x + 72 = 180.

Subtracting 72 from both sides gives us x = 108.

So the value of x that would make line m ll n is 108.

Write an equation that goes through (8,1) and is perpendicular to 2y + 4x =12

Serggg [28]

Answer:

2y -x + 6 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Here a equation and a point is given to us and we are interested in finding a equation which is perpendicular to the given equation and passes through the given point .

The given equation is ,

$\sf \longrightarrow 2y + 4x = 12 \\$

$\sf \longrightarrow 4x + 2y = 12$

Firstly convert this into slope intercept form , to find out the slope of the line.

$\sf \longrightarrow 2y = -4x +12\\$

$\sf \longrightarrow y =\dfrac{-4x+12}{2}\\$

$\sf \longrightarrow y =\dfrac{-4x}{2}+\dfrac{12}{2}\\$

$\sf \longrightarrow \red{ y = -2x + 6 }$

Now on comparing it to slope intercept form which is y = mx + c , we have ,

m = -2

And as we know that the product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1 . So the slope of the perpendicular line will be negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line. Therefore ,

$\sf \longrightarrow m_{\perp}=\dfrac{-1}{-2}=\red{\dfrac{1}{2}}$
