Answer:

The equation of the line is:

y=2x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points

  • (-2, -5)
  • (1, 1)

Finding the slope between the points

\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-2,\:-5\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(1,\:1\right)

m=\frac{1-\left(-5\right)}{1-\left(-2\right)}

m=2

We know the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the slope-intercept form

substituting the value m=2 and the point (-2, -5) to find the b-intercept

y=mx+b

-5 = 2(-2) + b

b = -5+4

b = -1

Now, substituting m=2 and b=-1 in the slope-intercept form to get the equation of a line

y=mx+b

y=2x+(-1)

y=2x-1

Thus, the equation of the line is:

y=2x-1

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.

∠ KLM is an external angle of the triangle, thus

∠ KLM = ∠ JKL + ∠ KJL , substitute values

5x - 7 = x + 20 + 2x + 3

5x - 7 = 3x + 23 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

2x - 7 = 23 ( add 7 to both sides )

2x = 30 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 15
