Answer:
The equation of line M in slope intercept form is 
The equation of line M in standard form is
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the slope of line M
The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

we have the points
(2,4) and (0,1)
substitute



step 2
Find the equation of the line M in point slope form

we have


substitute

----> equation in point slope form
step 3
Find the equation of line M in slope intercept form

Isolate the variable y in the equation of the line in point slope form

Adds 1 both sides

step 4
Find the equation of the line M in standard form

where
A is a positive integer
B and C are integers
we have

Multiply by 2 both sides

---> equation in standard form
Answer:
18√2
Step-by-step explanation:
The smaller triangle sharing a vertex with the larger one is similar and half the area. That means its linear dimensions are √(1/2) = (√2)/2 times those of the larger triangle.
The line segment of interest has length ...
36 × (√2)/2 = 18√2
_____
The ratio of area of similar figures is the square of the ratio of their linear dimensions. Thus the ratio of linear dimensions is the square root of the ratio of area.
If you have a fraction, take one number and put a different number on top or underneath, for example if you have 2 cats and 3 dogs, the ratio from cats to dogs would be 2:3 but if you did 2 cats to the total number of animals, you would add 2 and 3 and get 5, so the ratio would be 2:5.
