To avoid a large, shallow reef, a ship set a course from point A and traveled 24 miles east to point B. The ship then turned and traveled 33 miles south to point C. If the ship could have traveled in a straight line from point A to point C, about how many miles could it have saved?

b. would be the answer : )

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: add -16x to both sides.

16x−4y+−16x=64+−16x  

−4y=−16x+64

step 2: divide both sides by -4.

−4y /-4 = -16x + 64/-4

answer:   y=4x−16

hope i'm right

b is the correct answer

step-by-step explanation:

at each of the parallel lines adjacent angles are supplementary. the angles have special names identifying their positions with respect to the parallel lines and transversal. they are corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, or alternate exterior angles. an angles is congruent to its matched angle.
