The value of x, which is the length of ST in the given similar polygons is: 2.4.

<h3>What are Similar Shapes?</h3>

If two shapes are similar to each other, the ratio of their corresponding side lengths would be equal.

Thus, since both pentagons are similar, we would have:

CB/RQ = DE/ST

Plug in the values

5/6 = 2/x

Cross multiply

x = (6 × 2)/5

x = 12/5

x = 2.4

Therefore, the value of x, which is the length of ST in the given similar polygons is: 2.4.

Which postulate proves the two

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

D. none

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure shows two triangles. We see a right angle in each triangle. All right angles are congruent. One angle of one triangle is congruent to one angle of the other triangle. We are not given any other information about congruent sides or other congruent angles. Therefore, there is not enough information to prove the triangles are congruent.

Answer: none

The equation of a line is y = 1.5x − 2. What are its slope and y-intercept?

DiKsa [7]

You need to use y=mx+c to answer this so basically

gradient/slope (m) is 1.5 and the y-intercept (c) is -2

Hope this helps :)

Write the equation of the line in standard form

Vilka [71]

Answer:

2x - 3y = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange 2x - 3y = - 3 into this form by subtracting 2x from both sides

- 3y = - 2x - 3 ( divide all terms by - 3 )

y = $\frac{2}{3}$ x + 1 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = $\frac{2}{3}$

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = $\frac{2}{3}$ x + c ← is the partial equation

Given the y- intercept = 6, then

y = $\frac{2}{3}$ x + 6 ← equation in slope- intercept form

Multiply through by 3

3y = 2x + 18 ( subtract 3y from both sides )

0 = 2x - 3y + 18 ( subtract 18 from both sides )

2x - 3y = - 18 ← equation in standard form
