Find the measurement of “x”

164

So what i did was we know a straight line is 180° and we add 16 to x so what i did was 180-16 and got 164

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

x+16=4x-5

-x from both sides

16=3x-5

add 5 to both sides

21=3x

divide both sides by 3

x=7

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
