Complentary angles add to 90 degrees
a and b are complentary
a+b=90
a=7x+4
b=4x+9
so
7x+4+4x+9=90
combine like terms
11x+13=90
minus 13 both sides
11x=77
divide both sides by 11
x=7
m a =7x+4=7(7)+4=49+4=53
m b=4x+9=4(7)+9=28+9=37
angle a measures 53 degrees
angle b measures 37 degrees
Just multiply 38 by 50.

The answer in slope intercept form is y = 6x-11
If you want the answer in standard form, then it would be 6x-y =11
notes:
* Slope intercept form is y = mx+b
* Standard form is Ax+By = C
=====================================
Explanation:
The given slope is m = 6
The line goes through (x,y) = (3,7)
Plug those three values into the equation below. Isolate b
y = mx+b
7 = 6*3+b
7 = 18+b
7-18 = 18+b-18 ... subtract 18 from both sides
-11 = b
b = -11
So because m = 6 and b = -11, this means y = mx+b turns into y = 6x-11
The answer in slope intercept form is y = 6x-11
To convert to standard form Ax+By = C, we just have to get all the x and y terms together on the same side. I'm going to move the y term to the right side and move the 11 to the left side
y = 6x-11
y+11 = 6x-11+11
y+11 = 6x
y+11-y = 6x-y
11 = 6x-y
6x-y = 11
The answer in standard form is
6x-y = 11
which is a different way to write the same line
