Does anyone know the differences and similarities between theorems and conjectures? I searched on google but I didn’t understand! So in easy words please.. I’m sorry I’m dumb (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)

The difference between a theorem and a conjecture :-

Theorem :- Something which is true and can be proved .

I am giving a very simple example here .

Angle sum theorem :- sum of all angles in a triangle will be equal to 180° .

This is a theorem because every interior angle of a triangle will add up to 180° . It cannot change .

So , something that is definitely true and can be proved is a theorem .

Conjecture :- Something that is supposed to be true , but still hasn't been proved to be true .

Example :-

1a = 10

2a = 20

3a = 30

With this you can guess that 4a must be equal to 40 , but it can't be proved without using algebra .

Therefore , something which is likely to be true is a conjecture ( in maths ) .

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17
