Q -------------R------------S

suppose this is your line,

R is the mid point

and it's given that

QR = 2x
and
RS = x+3

as R is the mid point of QS
so,
QR = RS
then,
2x = x + 3
2x - x =3
x = 3


as,
it's given that RS = x + 3
then,
RS = 3 + 3
= 6 units.

11. The formula for the are of a triangle is A = 1/2 bh.
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

2A/b

Step-by-step explanation:

A=1/2(b)(h)

2A=(b)(h)    Multiply both sides by 2

2A/b=h       Divide both sides by b

h=2A/b

Please help! Thank you!

The correct answer is:  [B]:  " (2, 5) ".
__________________________________________
Given:
__________________________________________
  -5x + y = -5 ;
  -4x + 2y = 2 .
___________________________________________
  Consider the first equation:
___________________________
-5x + y = -5 ;  ↔ y + (-5x) = -5 ;

↔ y - 5x = -5 ;  Add "5x" to each side of the equation; to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; and to solve in terms of "y".
_____________________________________________
   y - 5x + 5x = -5 + 5x  

   y = -5 + 5x ;  ↔ y = 5x - 5 ;
____________________________________________
 Now, take our second equation:
______________________________
     -4x + 2y = 2 ; and plug in "(5x - 5)" for "y" ;  and solve for "x" :
_____________________________________________________
         -4x + 2(5x - 5) = 2 ; 
______________________________________________________
Note, 2(5x - 5) = 2(5x) - 2(5)  = 10x - 10 ;
__________________________________________
So:   -4x + 10x - 10 = 2 ;

On the left-hand side of the equation, combine the "like terms" ;

-4x +10x = 6x ;  and rewrite:

6x - 10 = 2  ;

Now, add "10" to each side of the equation:

6x - 10 + 10 = 2 + 10 ;

to get:

           6x = 12 ;  Now, divide EACH side of the equation by "6" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ; 

           6x/6 = 12 / 6 ;
 
                 x = 2 ;
_________________________________
Now, take our first given equation; and plug our solved value for "x" ; which is "2" ; and solve for "y" ;
_____________________________________
-5x + y = -5  ;

-5(2) + y = -5 ;

-10 + y = -5 ;  ↔
                              y - 10 = -5  ;

Add "10" to each side of the equation; to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "y" ;
     
         y - 10 + 10 = -5 + 10 ;

                   y = 5 .
_____________________________
So, we have, x = 2 ; and y = 5 .
____________________________
Now, let us check our work by plugging in "2" for "x" and "5" for "y" in BOTH the original first and second equations:
______________________________
first equation: 

-5x + y = -5 ;

-5(2) + 5 =? -5?

-10 + 5 =? -5 ? YES!
______________________
second equation:

-4x + 2y = 2 ;

-4(2) + 2(5) =? 2 ?

-8 + 10 =? 2 ?  Yes!
_______________________________________________________
So, the answer is: 
___________________________________________________________
          x = 2 , y = 5 ; or, "(2, 5)" ;  which is: "Answer choice: [B] " .

Heyy pls help! worth 20 points, and please only help if you know the answer. also no links those r kinda annoying lol
iragen [17]

Step 1: Find the slope:

    m= \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}= \dfrac{-2-7}{4-(-2)} =  \dfrac{-9}{6}= -\dfrac{3}{2}

This gives you y=-\dfrac{3}{2}x+b, but we need to find b.

To find b, substitute in one (x,y) pair and it doesn't matter which one.  I'll go with (4,-2):

    \begin{aligned}-2&=-\dfrac{3}{2}(4)+b\\[0.5em]-2&=-6+b\\[0.5em]4&=b\end{aligned}

Now take that b-value and plug in into the slope-intercept form:

     y=-\dfrac{3}{2}x+4

It's always a good idea to toss in the other x-value from the other point, to make sure it checks out.

Which equations represent functions?
never [62]

Answer:

2x + 3y = 10,  3y = 18  (in both cases, for each input x, there is exactly one output y.

Step-by-step explanation:

3y = 10 - 2x, or y = (1/3)(10 - 2x)   Yes, this is a function.

4x = 16 → x = 4        NOT a Function, because for x = 4 there are an infinite number of possible y -values

2x - 3 = 14 →  2x = 17  →  x = 17/2  Not a function.  See reason given above.

3y = 18 →  y = 6   Function

2x = 14.6   →  x = 7.3  Not a function.  See reason given above
