By using congruence of two triangles AKC and CMA we proved that

AK = MC

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets revise the cases of congruence

SSS ⇒ 3 sides in the 1st Δ ≅ 3 sides in the 2nd Δ
SAS ⇒ 2 sides and including angle in the 1st Δ ≅ 2 sides and including angle in the 2nd Δ
ASA ⇒ 2 angles and the side whose joining them in the 1st Δ ≅ 2 angles and the side whose joining them in the 2nd Δ
AAS ⇒ 2 angles and one side in the 1st Δ ≅ 2 angles and one side in the 2nd Δ
HL ⇒ hypotenuse leg of the 1st right Δ ≅ hypotenuse leg of the 2nd right Δ

In Δ ABC

∵ AB = BC

∴ Δ ABC is an isosceles triangle

∴ ∠BAC ≅ m∠BCA ⇒ base angles of isoscelesΔ

∵ AK ⊥ BC

∴ m∠AKC = 90°

∵ MC ⊥ AB

∴ m∠CMA = 90°

∴ ∠AKC ≅ ∠CMA

In the two Δs AKC and CMA

∵ ∠BAC ≅ m∠BCA

∵ ∠AKC ≅ ∠CMA

∵ AC ≅ CA

∴ Δ AKC and Δ CMA are congruent by AAS postulate

∴ AK ≅ CM

By using congruence of two triangles AKC and CMA we proved that

AK = MC

Answer:

as x increases, f(x) decreases;
as x decreases,f(x) decreases

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is of even degree with a negative leading coefficient. f(x) will tend toward negative infinity as x gets larger or smaller. That is ...

as x increases, f(x) decreases;
as x decreases,f(x) decreases

_____

<em>Even degree</em> means the end behaviors are the same for both large and small x. <em>Negative leading coefficient</em> means the function value decreases for larger x.

-6 - 3(2x + 4) = 18what’s the answer

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

$x=-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-6-3\left(2x+4\right)=18$

Add 6 to both sides:

$-6-3\left(2x+4\right)+6=18+6$

$-3\left(2x+4\right)=24$

Divide both sides by -3:

$\frac{-3\left(2x+4\right)}{-3}=\frac{24}{-3}$

$2x+4=-8$

Subtract 4 from both sides:

$2x+4-4=-8-4$

$2x=-12$

Divide both sides by 2:

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{-12}{2}$

$x=-6$

Find the slope and the y-intercept of the equation: 6y - 3x= -12

vivado [14]

Slope can be found but putting the equation in slope intercept form (y=mx+b)

6y=3x-12
y= 0.5x-2

M is your slope, b is the y intercept.

So the slope is 1/2, yintercept is (0,-2)

Hope this helps

I will give brainlest if the answer is right Enter the missing numbers in the boxes to complete the table of equivalent ratios.

rjkz [21]

Answer:

2 , 10 , and 15 in order of missing spaces, up to down

Step-by-step explanation:

You find the ration 8/20 and find out if the ration is simplifiable and turn it to 2/5 which you multiply the rest of the answers too. Hope this answers your question :)
