In similar triangles ratios of corresponding sides are constant, so

|AB|/|DE| = |BC|/|EF|

5/10 = 8/|EF|

|EF| = (8*10)/5 = 16

|EF| = 16

Which linear inequality is represented by the graph? y > Two-thirdsx – One-fifth y ≥ Three-halvesx + One-fifth y ≤ Two-thirds

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

y > 2/3x - 1/5

y ≥ 3/2x + 1/5

y ≤ 2/3x + 1/5

y < 3/2x - 1/5

(Assume that the question want you to draw a graph)

Remember:

> or < is a dotted line

≥ or ≤ is a solid line
