Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 4y = 15

Substitute the point into the equation and see if the equation is true

7 -4(-2) = 15

7+8 = 15

15 =15

This is true so the point is a solution to the equation

In the triangle XYZ the measure of angle YXZ is 50 degrees and the measure of angle XYZ is 75 degrees. What is the measure of an

lbvjy [14]

<h2>Answer: 55 degrees</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Every triangle has 3 sides and 3 interior angles whose measures sum to 180 degrees. For example, a triangle with angles $\theta$ , $\alpha$ and $\beta$ :

$\theta+\alpha+\beta=180\º$

Following this rule, we will apply it to the angles XYZ, YXZ and the unknown XZY:

$XYZ+YXZ+XZY=180\º$

$50\º+75\º+XZY=180\º$

$XZY=180\º-50\º-75\º$

Finally:

$XZY=55\º$

Explain the relationship between the number of painters and sculptors enrolled in the art schools?

nasty-shy [4]

The relationship between the number of painters and sculptors enrolled in the art school can be considered a direct variation.

<h3>Direct variation</h3>

A direct variation as implied above means, the linear relationship between the number of painters and sculptors enrolled in the art school are directly proportional.

In essence, as the number of sculptors in the art schools increase, the number of painters increases too. This is because, more painters are needed to paint increasing work volume of the sculptors.
