Answer:
f(x) = -1/3x +23/3
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use the linear regression function of a graphing calculator or spreadsheet to show you the equation of the line through these points:
f(x) = -1/3x +23/3
__
Approaching this in the usual way, we recognize we have points ...
(-1, 8) and (5, 6)
The slope of the line through those points is ...
m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)
m = (6 -8)/(5 -(-1)) = -2/6 = -1/3
Then the point-slope equation of the line is ...
y - 8 = -1/3(x +1)
Adding 8 gives us a form we can use for a function definition:
f(x) = -1/3(x +1) +8
f(x) = -1/3x +7 2/3

The ANGLE BISECTOR mentioned in the problem is simply just a line that separates an angle in half.
Meaning if it bisects ∠SUT which is 34. It just means that it divides the angle 34 into 2 equal parts.
Therefore ∠1 is just one-half of the ∠SUT.
Therefore the measurement of ∠1 is 17°.
