Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

slope of line l = 3

we want the line containing points J and K to have a slope of 3 also

x-(-1) 1

cross-multiply to solve for 'x':

3(x+1) = -3

3x + 3 = -3

3x = -6

x = -2

Geometry: Line QS bisects angle PQR. Solve for x and find the measure of angle PQR.

Kazeer [188]

It is given in the question that,

Line QS bisects angle PQR. Solve for x and find the measure of angle PQR.

And

$m \angle PQS = 2x+1
\\
m \angle RQS = 4x-15$

Since QS bisects angle PQR, therefore

$m \angle PQS = m \angle RQS$

Substituting the values, we will get

$2x+1=4x-15
\\
1+15 = 4x-2x
\\
2x = 16
\\
x = 8$

The length of the completed tunnel can be calculated using the equation . If the project will be completed 86 days after the TBM

bazaltina [42]

The y - intercept of an equation is the value of y when x is substituted with zero. From the given equation,
y = 25x + 225
Substituting,
y = (25)(0) + 225
y = 225
Thus, the y - intercept of the given equation is 225.
