The correct answer is: [D]: " y = - 4x − 13 " .
______________________________________________
Explanation:
_____________________________________________________

All the answer choices given are written in "point-slope format" (also known as "slope-intercept format" — that is: " y = mx + b" .

All of the answer choices given have a slope of "-4" ; that is: "m = -4" .
_____________________________________________________
          The only answer choice with the equation that passes through point
"(-3, 1)" — that is, when "x = -3, y = 1"   — is:
___________________________________________________
                    Answer choice: [D]: " y = - 4x − 13 " .
___________________________________________________
In the equation: " y = - 4x − 13 " ; when "x = - 3, y = 1" .
____________________________________________________
Given: " y = - 4x − 13 " ;

↔   - 4x − 13 = y ;

Plug in "(-3)" for "x" ; and see that "y = 1" ;

         -4(-3) − 13 = y ;

          12 − 13 = y = -1 ;
______________________________
So, when x = -3, y = 1 .
_________________________________________
The correct answer is: [D]: " y = - 4x − 13 " .
___________________________________________
Consider choice: [A]: " y = - 4x + 13 " ;
Substitute "(-3)" for "x" and see if "y = -1" ;
-4(-3) + 13 = y ; 12 + 13 = 25 ; NOT "-3" .
______________________________________
Consider choice: [B]: " y = - 4x + 7 " ;
Substitute "(-3)" for "x" and see if "y = -1" ;
-4(-3) + 7 = y ; 12 + 7 = 19 ; NOT "-3" .
______________________________________
Consider choice: [C]: " y = - 4x − 7 " ;
Substitute "(-3)" for "x" and see if "y = -1" ;
-4(-3) − 7 = y ; 12 − 7 = 9 ; NOT "-3" .
___________________________________________
This leaves us with "Answer choice: [D]: " y = - 4x − 13 " ; the only remaining answer choice; which we have already confirmed is correct; so we do not need to check.

Hope this helps!

Please help me with questions 26 and 27

grandymaker [24]

26) Answer is choice A: y = -3
This is the horizontal line that cuts the figure into two congruent pieces.
--------------------------------------------------------------

27) Answer is choice A: AB = 24 and DE = 12
CA/DF = 12/6 = 2
CB/FE = 20/10 = 2
The ratio of the larger to smaller corresponding sides is 2:1 or just 2

So AB needs to be twice as long as DE
That only happens with choice A

If the length of the shorter leg of a right triangle is 5 cm and the length of the hypotenuse is 8 cm, find the length of the lo

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

The length of the longer leg is 6.24 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the length of the hypotenuse = 8 cm

The length of shorten leg ( Base) = 5 cm

Let us assume the length of longer leg (Perpendicular) = k cm

Now, as the given triangle is a right angled triangle.

So, by the PYTHAGORAS THEOREM:

$( Base)^2 + ( Perpendicular)^2 = ( Hypotenuse)^2\\\implies (5)^2 + (k)^2 = (8)^2\\\implies k^2 = 64 - 25 = 39\\\implies k^2 = 39\\k = \sqrt{(39)} = \pm (6.24)$

Now,as k is the length of the side, so it cannot be negative.

⇒ k = 6.24 cm

Hence, the length of the longer leg is 6.24 cm.

a walking path across a park is repersented by the equation y=-2x-7. A new path will be built perpendicular to this path the pat

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

y + 3 = (1/2)(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the original path is -2. Any new path perpendicular to this one will have a slope which is the negative reciprocal of -2, which here is 1/2.

Use the point-slope formula y - k = m(x - h):

y - (-3) = (1/2)(x - (-2)), or

y + 3 = (1/2)(x + 2) represents the new path.
