Vertical angles are formed when two lines intersect, and two angles that are on opposite sides of both lines.

The angles on the west side and the east side form two vertically opposite angles (commonly called vertical angles, but much less descriptive).
It is because the west angle is to the left of both lines, and the east angle is to the right of both lines.

Vertically opposite angles (vertical angles) are congruent. Therefore we can form the equation
110 = 5x
Divide both sides by 5 to get
110/5=22 = 5x/5 = x
or
x=22 degrees.

the vertex of this parabola is at (3,-2). When the x-vaue is 4, the y-value is 3. What is the coefficient of the squared express

bixtya [17]

<h3>Answer: 5</h3>

=========================================================

Explanation:

Vertex form is

y = a(x-h)^2 + k

We are told the vertex is (3,-2), so we know (h,k) = (3,-2)

y = a(x-h)^2 + k will update to y = a(x-3)^2 - 2

--------

Then we also know that (x,y) = (4,3) is a point on the parabola. Plug those x and y values into the equation and solve for 'a'

y = a(x-3)^2 - 2

3 = a(4-3)^2 - 2

3 = a(1)^2 - 2

3 = a - 2

3+2 = a

5 = a

a = 5

This is the coefficient of the x^2 term since the standard form is y = ax^2+bx+c.
