Given:

FG=5x+2

GH=3x-1

FG=9

Let us draw the line segment as follows,

Equating the length of FG, we get,

\begin{gathered} 5x+2=9 \\ 5x=9-2 \\ 5x=7 \\ x=\frac{7}{5} \end{gathered}

Substitute the value of x in the given value of GH,

\begin{gathered} GH=3x-1 \\ =3(\frac{7}{5})-1 \\ =\frac{21}{5}-1 \\ =\frac{16}{5} \\ =3.2 \end{gathered}

And the total length FH is,

\begin{gathered} FH=FG+GH \\ =9+3.2 \\ =12.2 \end{gathered}

Hence, the lengths are,

\begin{gathered} FG=9 \\ GH=3.2 \\ FH=12.2 \end{gathered}

The slope of the line below is -1. write the point-slope equation of the line using the coordinates of the labeled point.​
omeli [17]

Answer:

y+9=-1(x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point Slope Form is:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

When:

'm' is the slope.

(x_1,y_1) is the coordinate.

We are given the slope of -1 and the coordinate of (4,-9).

So:

m=-1\\x_1=4\\y_1=-9

Using the information and replacing the values we get:

y+9=-1(x-4)

So, the line equation in point slope form should be: y+9=-1(x-4)

Which is 2/3 of 18 <br>A. 27<br>B. 8<br>C. 12<br>D. 6
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

C. 12

Step-by-step explanation:

We know you have the number 18 and the fraction 2/3. The problem is we want to find out what 2/3 of 18 is. Well, if 18 divided by the denominator of that fraction (3) is 6 than we just add 6 because the question is asking for 2/3 NOT 1/3.
