The temperature inside a freezer was –18 °C when the freezer was accidentally unplugged. After that, the temperature increased by 2 °C per hour. This situation can be modeled by an equation of the form y = mx + b , where x = the time in hours that the freezer was been unplugged and y = the temperature in degrees Celsius. What is the value of b in this equation?

-18

Step-by-step explanation:

b is where the line crosses the y-axis, or where x=0. Since it starts at -18, then that would be the b.

answer: 0+0=0

step-by-step explanation:

that is the only answer that can make 0

∠1≅∠2 by the alternate exterior angles theorem.

step-by-step explanation:

given, a ∥ b and ∠1 ≅ ∠3 .we have to prove that e ∥ f

we know that ∠1≅∠3 and that a || b because they are given. we see that by the alternate exterior angles theorem. therefore, ∠2≅∠3 by the transitive property. so, we can conclude that e || f by the converse alternate exterior angles theorem.

we have to fill the missing statement.

transitivity property states that if a = b and b = c, then a = c.

now, given ∠1≅∠3 and by transitivity property ∠2≅∠3 .

hence, to apply transitivity property one angle must be common which is not in result after applying this property which is ∠1.

the only options in which ∠1 is present are ∠1 and ∠2, ∠1 and ∠4

∠1 and ∠4 is not possible ∵ after applying transitivity we didn't get ∠4.

hence, the missing statement is ∠1≅∠2.

so, ∠1≅∠2 by the alternate exterior angles theorem.
