Answer:

x = 128 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

all triangles contain 180 degrees

the upper left corner angle is 52 degrees because 180 -90 - 38 = 52.

angle x is supplementary to 52 degrees so x = 180 -52 = 128 degrees

Answer:

x = 128°

Step-by-step explanation:

the interior ∡ (created by the 2 parallel lines) adjacent to the 38° ∡ measures 142°

therefore, we know the measure of the alternate interior and exterior angles created by the parallel lines as well

the second 38° ∡ is vertical to the top angle of the little right triangle, so the angle that forms a linear pair with 'x' is 180-(90+38), or 52°

therefore, m∡x = 180-52, or 128°

What is the slope of o line that passes through (-4,-14) and (19,11)?

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

D, see description below.

There is a possible typo in the problem since these points have slope 25/23.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of a line, calculate the distance between points with a ratio of vertical to horizontal distance. This is done using the formula:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Here the points are (-4,-14) and (19,11). Substitute and simplify.

$m=\frac{11--14}{19--4}=\frac{11+14}{19+4}=\frac{25}{23}$

I think there is a typo in your points (-4,-14) and (19,11) because the answer doesn't align to the answer choices. But based on them, I would answer D or 24/23 since it's the closest value.

A line has a slope of One-fourth and passes through point (0.4, negative one-half). What is the value of the y-intercept?

lawyer [7]

Answer:

a. -.06

$y=\frac{1}{4}x-0.6$

the y-intercept = $-.06$

Step-by-step explanation:

by plotting $y=\frac{1}{4}x-0.6$ on a graph, you can see it intercepts (0.4, - $\frac{1}{4}$ )

Addie walked 2 1/2 miles in 45 minutes. Suzie covered 2 2/5 miles in 2/3 of an hour.

N76 [4]

Answer:

Suzie's speed was 3.6 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The speed is equal to divide the distance by the time

Let

s ----> the speed in mph (miles per hour)

x ----> the distance in miles

y ----> the time in hours

$s=\frac{x}{y}$

Find Suzie's speed

we have

$x=2\frac{2}{5}\ mi$

$y=\frac{2}{3}\ h$

substitute

$s=2\frac{2}{5}:\frac{2}{3}$

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

$2\frac{2}{5}=2+\frac{2}{5}=\frac{2*5+2}{5}=\frac{12}{5}$

substitute

$s=\frac{12}{5}:\frac{2}{3}=\frac{36}{10}=3.6\ mph$
