Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For two lines to be parallel their slopes must be equal. For two lines to be perpendicular their slopes must be the negative reciprocal of each other.

Step 1 Find the slope of the equation.

Put it into the slope-intercept form. y = mx + b.  

For x-y = 7, move the x to the left; therefore subtract the x from both sides. this leaves you  -y = -x + 7

Then, divide both sides by -1 to get a positive y.  -y/-1 = (-x + 7)/-1

This leaves y = x - 7  The slope(m) for this equation is m = 1

The other equation must also have a slope of 1 or m=1 for the lines to be parallel.

Use the point given to you (-7, -6) and substitute for (x, y)

The slope-intercept form y = mx + b can once again be used.

x = -7, y =-6, and slope or m = 1

Therefore,  y = mx + b substituted will be -6 = (1)(-7) + b; now, solve for b which is the y intercept

-6 = -7 + b add 7 to both sides -6 +7 = -7 + b +7 ; therefore, b = 1

Now you know the slope(m) which is equal to 1 and the y-intercept(b) which is equal to 1.

Finally, substitute the m and b in the slope-intercept form

            y = (1)x + 1 or y = x +1

Given:

∠PRS and ∠VUW are supplementary.

To prove:

Line TV || Line QS

Solution:

Step 1: Given

∠PRS and ∠VUW are supplementary.

Step 2: By the definition of supplementary angles

m\angle {PRS}+m\angle {VUW}=180^{\circ}

Step 3: Angles forming a linear pair sum to 180°

m\angle {PRS}+m\angle {SRU}=180^{\circ}

Step 4: By transitive property of equality

step 2 = step 3

m\angle {PRS}+m\angle {VUW}=m\angle {PRS}+m\angle {SRU}

Step 5: By algebra cancel the common terms in both side.

{m} \angle {VUW}={m} \angle{SRU}

Step 6: By converse of corresponding angles postulate

Line TV || Line QS

Hence proved.

What is the value of z in the equation 4(2z + 3) = 12?
artcher [175]
First u have to expand the brackets...
4 x 2z = 8z
4 x 3 = 12
8z + 12 = 12
Then you have to get numbers on one side, and letter on the other...
8z -12 = 12-12
8z = 0
then u have to divide 8z by 8 to find 1z or just z.
z = (0/8) = 0
z=0
Hope this helps :)
