The base is 2 cm long and you want 3 pairs, that means 6 earrings.
2 cm × 6 earrings = 12 cm

12 cm of the 50 cm have been used for the base.
50 - 12 = 38 cm is left

An isosceles triangle has 2 sides that are isosceles and you want 6 earrings.
2 sides × 6 earrings = 12 sides

To figure out the length for those 12 sides with the 38 cm wire that is left, you divide.
38 cm ÷ 12 sides = approx 3.1 cm for each side

Equation of a line
Arada [10]

Answer:

y=-6/5x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given points (5,-8) and (-5,4)

Slope = m = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) = (-8-4/(5-(-5)) = -12/10 = -6/5

Y-intercept = b = (0,-2)

Final equation: y=-6/5x-2
