Answer:

First, put the equation of the line given into slope-intercept form by solving for y. You get y = -2x +5, so the slope is –2. Perpendicular lines have opposite-reciprocal slopes, so the slope of the line we want to find is 1/2. Plugging in the point given into the equation y = 1/2x + b and solving for b, we get b = 6.Step-by-step explanation:

What is measure of angle R?

Oliga [24]

Angle R can be solved using the inverse sine button on a calculator. Sine is y/r so opposite leg over the hypotenuse. For r, the opposite leg is 5cm and the hypotenuse is 13. The inverse sin button looks like sin^-1. Punch that in the calculator (make sure in degree mode). Punch the inverse sin and then 5/13 and you should get 22.62°

Answer:

parallelogram

Step-by-step explanation:

A shape with two pairs of parallel sides is a parallelogram. If an angle is something other than 90°, then the figure is not a rectangle.
