Triangle WYZ and triangle TWY are congruent, therefore WZ = TW
WZ = TW
3x - 5 = 2x
3x - 2x = 5
x = 5
The value of x is 5
y = mx + b, where m = slope, and b = y-intercept.
Since you are not given the y-intercept, you have to solve for it through the equation, y = (4/5)x (which is the slope you are given) + b, and replace x and y with values given, which are (-5,-3)
y = (4/5)x + b
-3 = (4/5)(-5) + b
-3 = -4 + b
1 = b
Then replace b in the first equation to get the answer
y = (4/5)x + 1
The answer is the first choice, "5 and 6."
The square root of 35 is equal to 5.92, which is in between the numbers 5 and 6.
