If AD is the altitude of BC, what is the slope of AD?​

Mathematics

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the slope of BC :

⇒ m (BC) = -1 - 5 / -3 - 5

⇒ m (BC) = -6/-8

⇒ m (BC) = <u>3/4</u>

Now, since AD is the altitude of BC, we can say the altitude is perpendicular to BC.

Hence, the slope of a perpendicular line is equal to the negative reciprocal of the original line.

⇒ m (AD) = - (1/m(BC))

⇒ m (AD) = - (1/(3/4))

⇒ m (AD) = -4/3

What is the value of x?
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

The two triangles \triangle MNP\sim \triangle RST.

Therefore the corresponding sides are proportional.

\frac{|ST|}{|PN|} =\frac{|TR|}{|MP|}

From the diagram |MP|=4, |PN|=3, |MN|=5 |ST|=x and |TR|=12.

Let us substitute the values and solve for x.

\frac{12}{4}=\frac{x}{3}

Multiply both sides by 3 to get:

3*\frac{12}{4}=\frac{x}{3}*3

This implies that:

9=x

Therefore x=9
