The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

we have

m=-5/2

point (4,-3)

substitute in the expression above

-3=-(5/2)(4)+b

solve for b

-3=-10+b

b=10-3

b=7

therefore

the equation of the line is

From the diagram below, if the sides AD = 3 and DC = 27, and BD = X + 3, find x.

Colt1911 [192]

Given:

• AD = 3

• DC = 27

• BD = x + 3

Let's solve for x.

To solve for x, apply the altitude formula:

$\frac{AD}{BD}=\frac{BD}{DC}$

Where BD is the altitude.

Cross multiply:

$BD^2=AD*DC$

Plug in the values and solve for x:

$\begin{gathered} (x+3)^2=3*27 \\ \\ (x+3)^2=81 \end{gathered}$

Take the square root of both sides:

$\begin{gathered} \sqrt{(x+3)^2}=\sqrt{81} \\ \\ x+3=9 \\ \\ \text{ Subtract 3 from both sides:} \\ x+3-3=9-3 \\ \\ x=6 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the value of x is 6 .
