Answer:

y = -1/2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so you probably heard of the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b. We have to use that formula to create a line that goes through (2,1), because thats the bisector.

Let's have our point start at the origin, (0,0). This you make our equation of y=mx+b into y = mx + 0. Since it's 0, let's just drop it out of our equation.

So now for slope. Rise/Run is what we're going to use to create our slope. Since we started at the origin, our slope is going to be negative. We can go down one over two from the origin to get to points (2,1) so why can't that be our slope? We're rising -1, and running 2, making our slope -1/2. In the equation, it would be y= -1/2x + 0, which can be simplified into y = -1/2x

It's a lot of writing and explaining, so I hope this helps! Try asking your teacher just to make sure it's correct.

Answer:

$\boxed{x=58}$ & $\boxed{m \angle C = 60}$

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to find x first in order to find the measure of angle C. To solve for x, we will use the fact that interior angles of a triangle have angle measurements that add up to 180 degrees.

Using this knowledge, we can create an equation where angles A, B, and C add up to equal 180.

$A+B+C=180$
$(x+4)+(x)+(x+2)=180$

Combine like terms on the left side of the equation.

$3x + 6 = 180$

Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation.

$3x=174$

Divide both sides of the equation by 3.

$x=58$

Now that you've found the value of x, you can use this value to plug into the expression for angle C.

$C=x+2$
$C=(58)+2$
$C=60$

Therefore, the final answer is:

$x=58\ \text{and} \ m \angle C = 60$

Write the equation of the line that passes through the given points. (0,5) and (-2,-4)

Sati [7]

Answer:

$y=\frac{9}{2}x+5$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of the a line that passes through the two given points, we must first find the slope between the two points. We can do this by using the slope formula. The slope formula is:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

where m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are two points.

By plugging in (-2, -4) and (0, 5) for (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) respectively, we get:

$y=\frac{5-(-4)}{0-(-2)}=\frac{9}{2}$

So the slope is 9/2. Now we that we have found the slope, we can write an equation. Normally, when we are given two points, we would pick one of the points and plug it into the point-slope form and then solve for slope-intercept form. Here, notice that one of the points give, (0, 5), is the y-intercept. Knowing this, we can plug in 5 for the y-intercept into the slope-intercept form to get our equation. Remember, slope-intercept form is:

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Pugging in 9/2 for m and 5 for b we get:

$y=\frac{9}{2}x+5$

which would be our equation.

I hope this helps. Happy studying.
