Here are the correct answers to your questions:
Question 1: The slope of a line is calculated using the formula \[ \text{slope} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}. \] Using the coordinates (−5,−2) and (4,−8):
\[ \text{slope} = \frac{-8 - (-2)}{4 - (-5)} = \frac{-8 + 2}{4 + 5} = \frac{-6}{9} = \frac{-2}{3}. \]
Answer: -2/3 (or −23)
Question 2: Since parallel lines have the same slope, we need an equation with a slope of -2/3.
Answer: y = -2/3x + 2
Question 3: To prove the lines are perpendicular, the slopes must satisfy the relationship \( m_1 \times m_2 = -1 \).
To find the slope of line AB: \[ \text{slope}{AB} = \frac{8 - 6}{3 - (-3)} = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}. \] For line CD, let the missing y-coordinate be \( y \): \[ \text{slope}{CD} = \frac{y - 5}{-3 - 3} = \frac{y - 5}{-6}. \]
Setting the product of the slopes to -1 for perpendicularity: \[ \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{y - 5}{-6} = -1. \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{y - 5}{-18} = -1, \] leading to \( y - 5 = 18 \), or: \[ y = 23. \]
Answer: 5
Question 4: If m∠3 = 32°, then m∠5 (which is corresponding to m∠3) is also:
Answer: 32°
Question 5: Since RS || PQ, and the angles are related by the transversal, we can set up the equation: \[ 4x - 7 = 2x + 27. \] Solving for \(x\): \[ 4x - 2x = 27 + 7 \implies 2x = 34 \implies x = 17. \]
Answer: 17
Question 6: Trishna’s proof incorrectly states that m∠E=m∠H due to vertical angles; however, they are a linear pair.
Answer: The reason that m∠E=m∠H is because they are a linear pair, not vertical angles.
Question 7: The missing statement should establish that the two angles at O and R, formed by the intersecting line, are congruent due to their definition.
Answer: ∠OQS≅∠RQS
Question 8: The sum of the angles in a hexagon is \( (6-2) \times 180 = 720°\). Given four angles sum to 605°:
\[ 720° - 605° = 115°. \]
Answer: 115°
Question 9: The mistake in statement 5 is about the angles referenced:
Answer: Statement 5 has a mistake. It should say m∠ABD + m∠DBE + m∠ABC = 180°.
Question 10: Sylvia should show that the triangles formed by the line bisecting the angle are congruent through SSS.
Answer: Sylvia should prove that △ACD≅△ABD by the SSS Congruence Theorem and therefore ∠C≅∠B by the CPCTC Theorem.
