Answer:
The answers are that a = -5 and b = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find A and B, we first need to find the equation of the line. We can do this by using two ordered pairs and the slope formula. For the purpose of this activity, I'l use (0, 5) and (-3, 11)
m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (11 - 5)/(-3 - 0)
m = 6/-3
m = -2
Now that we have this we can model this using point-slope form.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 5 = -2(x - 0)
y - 5 = -2x
y = -2x + 5
Now that we have the modeled equation we can use the ordered pair (a, 15) to solve for a.
y = -2x + 5
15 = -2(a) + 5
10 = -2a
-5 = a
And we can also solve for b using the ordered pair (2, b)
y = -2x + 5
b = -2(2) + 5
b = -4 + 5
b = 1
Answer:
Transitive
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
∠ABD is the sum of the angles ∠ABC and ∠CBD. In other words:

Substitute in known values:

And subtract. Hence:

In conclusion, ∠ABC measures 34°.
It's closed under addition. You can take any two natural numbers you want, add them up and you'll get some other natural number (eg: 3 and 5 ---> 3+5 = 8)
it's not closed under subtraction. Sure 5-3 = 2 is a natural number but 3-5 = -2 is not a natural number
so that leads us to the answer being choice B
