Step 1

Find the measure of angle x

we know that

If ray NP bisects <MNQ

then

m<MNQ=m<PNM+m<PNQ ------> equation A

and

m<PNM=m<PNQ -------> equation B

we have that

m<MNQ=(8x+12)°

m<PNQ=78°

substitute in equation A

(8x+12)=78+78-------> 8x+12=156------> 8x=156-12

8x=144------> x=18°

Step 2

Find the measure of angle y

we have

m<PNM=(3y-9)°

m<PNM=78°

3y-9=78------> 3y=87------> y=29°

therefore

the answer is

the measure of x is 18° and the measure of y is 29°

Segment AB falls on line 2x − 4y = 8. Segment CD falls on line 4x + 2y = 8. What is true about segments AB and CD? They are perp

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

They are perpendicular because they have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of −2 and one half.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because x = -2 and half of -2 is 1

when we use CD line and x2 we find 8x+4y=16 when added to 2x -4y=8 would equal 10x+4y = 2 1/2 xy = 16

When we use for AB line we see they are perpendicular 2 1/2 x 2 = 5 -4y = 8 shows y to be -2 and the 1/2 line leaves -2 1/2 and x also is 2 1/2.

A school replaced 20% of it computers with new ones . what the total number of computers in the school if 55 computers were repl

sladkih [1.3K]

The total is 275 because 100% divided by 20% is 5 and if 20%= 55 then that means that 55 goes into 100% 5 times so you multiply 55 by 5 to get 275. Hope I helped! Please rate me as the brainliest!

Let L represent the number of cups of lemonade that Marcus sold. Then his revenue can be described by ...
0.75L + 0.35(L -5) = 7.05
1.10L -1.75 = 7.05 . . . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
1.10L = 8.80 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .add 1.75
L = 8 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 1.10

In the diagram below, circle O is circumscribed about quadrilateral DEFG. What is the value of x?

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

A. $61^{o}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that circle O is circumscribed about quadrilateral DEFG.

Since we know that the opposite angles of quadrilateral inscribed inside a circle are supplementary.

Let us find value of x by equating the measure of x and its opposite angle with 180.

$x+119^{o}=180^{o}$

$x=180^{o}-119^{o}$

$x=61^{o}$

Therefore, the value of x is 61 degrees and option A is the correct choice.

The value of the coefficient of correlation ( r) a. can never be equal to the value of the coefficient of determination (r2). b.

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

d. can be equal to the value of the coefficient of determination (r2).

True on the special case when r =1 we have that $r^2 = 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to remember that the correlation coefficient is a measure to analyze the goodness of fit for a model and is given by:

$r=\frac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 -(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2 -(\sum y)^2]}}$

The determination coefficient is given by $R= r^2$

Let's analyze one by one the possible options:

a. can never be equal to the value of the coefficient of determination (r2).

False if r = 1 then $r^2 = 1$

b. is always larger than the value of the coefficient of determination (r2).

False not always if r= 1 we have that $r^2 =1$ and we don't satisfy the condition

c. is always smaller than the value of the coefficient of determination (r2).

False again if r =1 then we have $r^2 = 1$ and we don't satisfy the condition

d. can be equal to the value of the coefficient of determination (r2).

True on the special case when r =1 we have that $r^2 = 1$
