If F is the mid point of EG and EF = 3x and EG = 5x + 7,then EF=21.

Given that F is the mid point of EG and EF = 3x and EG = 5x + 7.

We are required to find the length of EF.

Mid point is the point which divides the line or line segment into two equal parts.

Because F is the mid point of EG so EG=2*EF

Using the expressions of EG and EF in the equation above.

5x+7=2*3x

5x+7=6x

x=7

EF=3*7

EF=21

Hence if F is the mid point of EG and EF = 3x and EG = 5x + 7,then EF=21.

the line y=2x-4 is dilated bt a scale factor of 3/2 and centered at the origin. Write an equation that represent that image of t

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer: $y = 2x -6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, If (x,y) represents the coordinates of a line, then after dilation about the origin by the scale factor k, the coordinates of the resultant line will get by the rule,

$(x,y)\rightarrow (kx,ky)$

Here, The equation of the given line is,

y = 2x - 4

x-intercept and y-intercept of the line are (2,0) and (0,-4) respectively,

Hence, the line y = 2x - 4 will be passes through the points (2,0) and (0,-4),

By the above property,

The dilated line about the origin will be passes through the points (3,0) and (0,-6), ( Because (3/2× 2, 3/2×0) = (3,0) and (3/2×0, 3/2×-4) = (0,-6) )

Hence, the equation of transformed line after dilation,

$y-0 = \frac{-6-0}{0-3}(x-3)$

$y-0=2(x-3)$

$y-0=2x-6$

$y=2x-6$

Geometry help! Will give brainliest!! The slope of line b is -1/6. What is the slope of the line parallel to line b?

atroni [7]

Answer:

-1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines are lines which have the exact same slope but different y-intercepts. This means any line which is parallel and does not cross will have the exact same slope of -1/6.
