Answer:
∠ PQR = 70°
Step-by-step explanation:
The tangent- tangent angle PQR is half the difference of the intercepted arcs.
minor arc PR = 360° - 250° = 110°
Then
∠ PQR = (250 - 110)° = × 140° = 70°
Since they tell us that this is linear, having a constant rate of change, we can express this as a line:
y=mx+b, where m=slope (change in y divided by change in x) and b=y-intercept (value of y when x=0)
First find the slope, or m, which mathematically is:
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1), in this case:
m=(880-440)/(2000-1000)
m=440/1000
m=0.44, so far our line is:
y=0.44x+b, now we can use either data point to solve for b, I'll use (1000,440)
440=0.44(1000)+b
440=440+b
0=b, so our line is just:
y=0.44x
Actually, if you notice that two of the lines are parallel, the answer is x=53!
