How do you find the middle term of a perfect square trinomial?

Take the square root of the constant (number w/o the variable) and then multiply that by 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

A perfect square trinomial is something like this: If I have 6x, and I want to find the last term I would take half a six and then square it to get 9.

SO.... To get the middle term of a perfect square trinomial, you would need to do the reverse.. So...

1) Take the square root of the constant...

2) Multiply that by 2

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

answer: (c) m∠qpo + (2x + 16)° = 180°

step-by-step explanation:

the opposite angles of a quadrilateral are supplementary.

so, ∠o + ∠q = 180°   and   ∠p + ∠r = 180°

since ∠r = 2x + 16°, we can use substitution as follows:

∠p + ∠r = 180°

∠p + (2x + 16)° = 180°
