Answer:
D. 2.65 because it is the slope
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 6y = 12
2x - 2x + 6y = 12 - 2x
6y = 12 - 2x
6y/6 = 12/6 - 2x/6
Y = 2 - 2/6 X
Y = 2 - 1/3 X or
Y = -1/3 X + 2.
Again, nice problem. These are not super easy. You need to imagine the triangles in the figure and relate sides.
For instance: ADC, its hypotenuse is 15
For ABC, it is 20,
so 20/15 is the ratio between both triangles. Now let's choose the side with 'x'
x is one side of ADC, the corresponding side in ABC is 15 (the second longest sides). You need to rotate the triangles, etc ... That's the tricky part :)
So:
20/15 =15/x ----> x = 15*15/20 = 225/20 = 45/4
Which is C
Not sure whether it's too late to help you though!!!!
Also notice that it's kind of a product rule:
x * 20 = 15 * 15
I am sure the book explains a short way of getting to this equation, like sides opposite, blah blah, but what i told you is the reason. You asked for understanding it! Best luck!
The answer a I believe so.
