Answer:

y = 116°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that <em>L₁ </em>|| <em>L</em>₂:

The <u>exterior angle theorem</u> states that the measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two opposite and non-adjacent remote interior angles.  

Also, ∠y° and ∠2x° are <u>same-side interior angles</u> formed by the intersection of the <em>hypotenuse</em> of the triangle that acts as a transversal to the parallel lines, <em>L₁ </em>and <em>L</em>₂.  Given that ∠y° and ∠2x° are <u>same-side interior angles</u>, then it means that they are the supplements of each other, such that the sum of their measures is 180°.  

Now that we have established these definitions, we can proceed with the solution.

<u>Equation 1</u>:  ∠y° + ∠2x° = 180° ⇒ Same-side interior angles

<u>Equation 2</u>:  ∠y° =  ∠x° + ∠84°  ⇒ exterior angle theorem

Substitute the value of m∠y° from Equation 2 into Equation 1 to solve for the value of x:

∠y° + ∠2x° = 180°

∠x° +  ∠84° + 2x° = 180°

Combine like terms:

∠3x° + ∠84° = 180°

Subtract ∠84° from both sides:

∠3x° + ∠84° - ∠84° = 180° -∠84°

∠3x° = 180° - ∠84°

∠3x° = 96°

Divide both sides by 3 to solve for x:

\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{96}{3}

∠x° = 32°

Substitute the value of x into Equation 2 to solve for y:

∠y° =  ∠x° + ∠84°

∠y° =  ∠32° + ∠84°

∠y° =  116°

Verify whether the values for x and y are correct by substituting their values into Equation 1 and 2:

<h3>Equation 1:</h3>

∠y° + ∠2x° = 180°

116° + 2(32)° = 180°

116° + 64° = 180°

180° = 180° (True statement).

<h3>Equation 2:</h3>

∠y° =  ∠x° + ∠84°

116° = 32° + 84°

116°  = 116°  (True statement)

Therefore, the correct answer is: y = 116°.

write a slope intercept equation for a line passing through the point (2,-2) that is parallel and perpendicular to the line x=-1
vekshin1

You would need two different lines to complete this as lines cannot be both parallel and perpendicular (these are opposites). The answers would be:

Parallel: x = 2

Perpendicular: y = -2

In order to find these, we first need to see that the original line of x = -1 is a horizontal line. Therefore, any line that is parallel should be horizontal as well. To get a horizontal line through the point (2, -2), the only option is x = 2.

Similarly, with the perpendicular line, if the original line is horizontal, the new line must be vertical. The only vertical line that goes through (2, -2) is y = -2.
