$(\stackrel{x_1}{8}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m} ~=~ -\cfrac{1}{2} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{1}=\stackrel{m}{-\cfrac{1}{2}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{8}) \\\\\\ y-1=-\cfrac{1}{2}x+4\implies y=-\cfrac{1}{2}x+5$

The answer is 20

Reason: so the W is 4 and the L is 6 so you do 4+4=8 then you do 6+6=12 then you add the two together and get 20

The 5 players on the basketball team have a mean height of 141 cm. The heights of 4 of the players are listed below. The height

joja [24]

$\frac{137+150+144+149+x}{5} =141$

$x=125$

Therefore, the man is shorter than 141 centimeters.

Analyze the diagram below and answer the question that follows. If 2004-02-01-02-00_files/, what is 2004-02-01-02-00_files/? A.

Option A AY || XV given that A, Y, Z are midpoints of sides XW, VW, XV respectively. This can be obtained by knowing what similar triangles are and finding which sides are proportional.

<h3>Find the correct option:</h3>

Similar triangles: If two triangles have proportional sides the are similar.

For example, if ΔABC and ΔDEF are similar then

$\frac{AB}{DE}= \frac{BC}{EF} =\frac{AC}{DF}$

∠ABC = ∠DEF and ∠ACB = ∠DFE

Then we can write that, ΔABC ~ ΔDEF

Here in this question,

Since A, Y, Z are midpoints of sides XW, VW, XV

XA = AW

WY = VY

XZ = VZ

To consider sides AY and XV we should take triangles ΔWAY and ΔWXV

$\frac{WX}{WA} =\frac{2WA}{WA} = 2$ (since A is the midpoint of WX)

$\frac{WV}{WY} =\frac{2WY}{WY} = 2$ (since Y is the midpoint of WV)

∠AWY = ∠XWV (reflexive property)

Therefore ΔWAY and ΔWXV are similar triangles

$\frac{WX}{WA}= \frac{XV}{AY} =\frac{WV}{WY}$ = 2

∠WAY = ∠WXV and ∠AYW = ∠XVW

Hence,

AY || XV option A AY || XV given that A, Y, Z are midpoints of sides XW, VW, XV respectively.
