Answer:

a = 36°

b = 144°

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3><u>Method 1</u></h3>

Number of sides = n = 10

Sum of interior angles = (n - 2) × 180°

                                     = (10 - 2) × 180°

                                     = 8 × 180°

                                     = 1440°

Interior angle = b = sum of interior angles ÷ number of sides

                          b = 1440 ÷ 10

                          b = 144°

              a + b = 180° (Sum of angles in the straight line)

         a + 144° = 180°

a + 144° - 144° = 180° - 144°

                    a = 36°

<h3><u>Method 2</u></h3>

Number of sides = 10

Exterior angle = a = 360° ÷ Number of sides

                           a = 360° ÷ 10

                           a = 36°

            a + b = 180° (Sum of angles in the straight line)

        36° + b = 180°

36° + b - 36° = 180° - 36°

                 b = 144°

Wich is an equetion of the line that passes through the points (4,2) and (0,-1)
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

y

=

2

x

−

1

Explanation:

First, we need to determine the slope of the line. The formula for determining the slope of a line is:

m

=

y

2

−

y

1

x

2

−

x

1

where

m

is the slope and the x and y terms are for the points:

(

x

1

,

y

1

)

and

(

x

2

,

y

2

)

For this problem the slope is:

m

=

3

−

−

1

2

−

0

m

=

3

+

1

2

m

=

4

2

m

=

2

Now, selecting one of the points we can use the point slope formula to find the equation.

The point slope formula is:

y

−

y

1

=

m

(

x

−

x

1

)

Substituting one of our points gives:

y

−

−

=

2

(

x

−

0

)

y

+

1

=

2

x

Solving for

y

to put this in standard form gives:

y

+

1

−

1

=

=

A quadratic equation has the solutions x- -5 and x=4 What are the x-intercepts of the graph of the function?
DedPeter [7]
Answer:
(-4, 0) and (1, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:
"Solutions" in this case have the same numeric values as do "x-intercepts."
If x = -4 is a "solution" of this quadratic equation, then (-4, 0) is the corresponding x-intercept. Likewise, if x = 1 is a solution, then (1, 0) is the corresponding x-intercept.
