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.

For what values of a is the value of the binomial 2a−1 smaller than the value of the binomial 7−1.2a by 7?

Nimfa-mama [501]

ANSWER

$a = \frac{5}{16}$

EXPLANATION

We want to find the value of a for which the binomial, 2a-1 is smaller than the value of the binomial 7-1.2a by 7.

This means that, when we subtract 2a-1 from 7-1.2a, we should get 7.

$7 - 1.2a - (2a - 1) = 7$

Expand:

$7 - 1.2a - 2a + 1= 7$

Group similar terms:

$- 1.2a - 2a = 7 - 7 - 1$

$- 3.2a = - 1$

Divide both sides by -3.2,

$a = \frac{ - 1}{ - 3.2}$

$a = \frac{5}{16}$

What is this graphs slope?

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

slope = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following points on the graph: (-1, 4) (1, -4)

Let (x1, y1) = (-1, 4)

(x2, y2) = (1, -4)

Use the following slope formula:

$m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

$m = \frac{-4 - 4}{1 - (-1)} = \frac{-8}{1 + 1} = \frac{-8}{2} = -4$

Therefore, the slope of the line is -4
