The answer is B. The leading coefficient is always the variable with the highest degree. In this case, it's 5.
Answer:
253/1000, 23.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The answers are that a = -5 and b = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find A and B, we first need to find the equation of the line. We can do this by using two ordered pairs and the slope formula. For the purpose of this activity, I'l use (0, 5) and (-3, 11)
m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (11 - 5)/(-3 - 0)
m = 6/-3
m = -2
Now that we have this we can model this using point-slope form.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 5 = -2(x - 0)
y - 5 = -2x
y = -2x + 5
Now that we have the modeled equation we can use the ordered pair (a, 15) to solve for a.
y = -2x + 5
15 = -2(a) + 5
10 = -2a
-5 = a
And we can also solve for b using the ordered pair (2, b)
y = -2x + 5
b = -2(2) + 5
b = -4 + 5
b = 1
Triangle ACB and triangle ABD share one side AB. This means they have one side that is congruent; side AB
Angle ABD = Angle ABC
Angle BAC = Angle BAD
The pair of angles that are equal lie on the side AB
Hence, triangle ABC and triangle ABD are congruent by Angle-Side-Angle (ASA)
