Answer:
a=5, b=15
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The figure MNLO is a Kite
so
LO=NO and MN=LM
we have
LO=7a-14, NO=b+6
7a-14=b+6 -----> equation A
MN=b, LM=3a
b=3a -----> equation B
Solve the system of equations by substitution
Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for a
7a-14=(3a)+6
7a-3a=6+14
4a=20
a=5
Find the value of b
b=3a ----> b=3(5)=15
therefore
a=5, b=15
The answer is 115.5. Let me know if you need me to explain
Y₂-y₁ ÷x₂-x₁ =
(7.5 - 24) ÷ (36-5) =
-16.5 ÷ 31 = -16.5/31 ≈ -0.5322480
Or as a fraction: -33/62
