Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>The line with points (1,2) and (-1,-8). Work out its equation.</u>
<u>The slope is:</u>
- m = (-8 - 2)/(-1 - 1) = -10/-2 = 5
<u>To find the y intercept, substitute x and y-xoordinates of point (1,2):</u>
- 2 = 5(1) + b
- b = 2 - 5
- b = -3
<u>The line is:</u>
<u>Point (x, 17), substitute y-coordinate and solve for x</u>
- 17 = 5x - 3
- 5x = 17 + 3
- 5x = 20
- x = 20/5
- x = 4
Equilateral triangle have the same side lengths. Perimeter = sum of all sides
(4x - 3) + (4x - 3) + (4x - 3) = 63
Remove parentheses
4x - 3 + 4x - 3 + 4x - 3 = 63
Combine like terms
12x - 9 = 63
12x = 72, x = 6
Solution: x = 6
Alejandro is correct because you do not need to add another number to 76.518, as Jiro did, but you need to round it to the nearest tenth.
Glad I could help, and good luck!
The answer you are looking for is -11/10 or - 1 1/10.
To find this answer you must first make the denominators the same. To do this, multiply 2/5 by 2/2 to get 4/10. Finally, subtract the two fractions, keeping in mind the denominators stay the same. -7/10 - 4/10 = -11/10 or - 1 1/10.
I hope this helps!
