Answer:
A. 8
Step-by-step explanation:
sqrt{64} is 8 (8*8)
If point A is the midpoint then that means line segments XA and AY are equivalent so you can set:
3x=5x-6
(now you solve for x)
2x=6
(divide by 2 on both sides)
x=3
So BASICALLY,
XA= 3x= 3(3) = 9
AY= 5x-6= 5(3)-6 =9
So now you know the length of both sides, add those together and you get
XY=18
Step-by-step explanation:
solution
let,A(5,-1)
given
y=12x-1
or, y = 12 × x + (-1)
comparing it with y=mx+c
we get
x=1
y = c = -1
now
A(5,-1) and B(1,-1)
equation of line is,
(y-y1)/(x-x1) = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
or, (y+1)/(x-5) = (-1+1)/(1-5)
or, (y+1)/(x-5) = 0/-4
cross multiply
-4y-4 = 0
or, 0=4y+4
or, 4y+4=0 is the required eqn
I think this is the process and answer too.
I hope this helps you
