The measure of two complementary angles are in the ratio 1 : 4. what are the degree measures of the two angles?
a 18° and 72°
b. 22.5° and 67.5°
c. 36° and 144°
d. 45° and 135°

A 18° and 72°

Step-by-step explanation:

As you know, the sum of two complementary angles = 90

The ratio 1 : 4 = 1 + 4 = 5

So 90/5 = 18

1 x 18 = 18

4 x 18 = 72

The two complementary angles are  18° and 72°

Answer

A 18° and 72°

(0,-3) see attached graph

step-by-step explanation:

a. to solve the system, graph the two equations.

x = y+3 becomes y=x-3 has m=1/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move up 1 unit and 1 unit to the right. plot a point and connect.

y=-4x+3 has m =-4/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move down four units and to the right 1 unit. plot a point and connect.

the solution is the point (x,y) where the two lines intersect. by the graph below it is (0,-3).

b. to solve by substitution, substitute y = -4x-3 into x= y+3

x= (-4x-3) +3

x=-4x

5x=0

x=0

now substitute x = 0 back in to find y.

y= -4(0)-3

y=0-3

y=-3

solution is (0,-3)

c. use elimination by adding the equations together.

x-y=3

4x+y=-3

5x=0

x=0

then substitute into one equation to find y.

y=-4(0)-3

y=-3
