Answer:

The value of x = 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

BE || CD

AE = 9

ED = 6

AB = x

BC = 10

To Find;

AB = x = ?

Solution:

BE || CD ......................{Given}

Basic Proportionality Theorem:

If a line is parallel to a side of a triangle which intersects the other sides into two distinct points, then the line divides those sides in proportion.

i.e

\frac{AE}{ED} =\frac{AB}{BC}...........{Basic Proportionality Theorem}

Substituting the given values we get

\frac{9}{6} =\frac{x}{10}\\\therefore x = 10\times \frac{9}{6}\\\therefore x = \frac{90}{6}\\\therefore x = 15

The value of x = 15.

So all you have to do to solve these problems is substitute the y coordinate and the x coordinate into the equation.

So question 1 would be true because when you substitute the numbers in it equals the y value.

Question 2 is (4, -7)

Question 3 is False

Question 4 is true

Question 5 is true

See if you can do the rest!

Leviafan [203]

\bf \textit{area of a square}\\\\ A=s^2~~ \begin{cases} s=length~of\\ \qquad a~side\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ s=\frac{2}{3} \end{cases}\implies A=\left( \cfrac{2}{3} \right)^2\implies A=\cfrac{2^2}{3^2}\implies A=\cfrac{4}{9}
