Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

so S and Y are complementary...that means when added, they equal 90 degrees.

S + Y = 90

S = 4Y - 185

4Y - 185 + Y = 90

5Y - 185 = 90

5Y = 90 + 185

5Y = 275

Y = 275 / 5

Y = 55 <===== angle Y is 55

S + Y = 90

S + 55 = 90

S = 90 - 55

S = 35

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line with the parametric equations x=2t and y=1-t

pentagon [3]

Answer: -x/2 + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

write t in terms of x

x = 2t

t = x/2

substitute t in y

y = 1 - t

y = 1 - x/2 or -x/2 + 1

What is 9.15 to the nearest tenth

tiny-mole [99]

The answer is 9.2, because when the number behind the number being rounded is 5 or above, you round up. if the number was 9.14, it would be rounded down to 9.1 :)

I will give Brainiest if you are right

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

19.5º

Step-by-step explanation:

Every triangle is equal to 180º for all angles. So, you add 33.5 + 127 and subtract the sum by 180.

33.5 + 127= 160.5

180- 160.5 = 19.5

So, the angle F is 19.5º

Hope this helps !!

Which of the following equations represents the perpendicular bisector of WX graphed below?

kotykmax [81]

The coordinates of the 2 given points are W(-5, 2), and X(5, -4).

First, we find the midpoint M using the midpoint formula:

$\displaystyle{ M_{WX}= (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )= (\frac{-5+5}{2}, \frac{2+(-4)}{2} )=(0, -1).$

Nex, we find the slope of the line containing M, perpendicular to WX. We know that if m and n are the slopes of 2 parallel lines, then mn=-1.

The slope of WX is $\displaystyle{ m= \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}= \frac{2-(-4)}{-5-5}= \frac{6}{-10}= -\frac{3}{5}$ .

Thus, the slope n of the perpendicular line is $\displaystyle{ \frac{5}{3}$ .

The equation of the line with slope $\displaystyle{ n= \frac{5}{3}$ containing the point M(0, -1) is given by:

$\displaystyle{ y-(-1)=\frac{5}{3}(x-0)$

$\displaystyle{ y+1= \frac{5}{3}x$

$\displaystyle{ 3y+3=5x$

$\displaystyle{ 5x-3y-3=0$

Answer: 5x-3y-3=0
