If b is between a and c then ab+bc=ac

1 answer:

3 0

That's false. Take the numbers 1, 3, and 5.
Let a = 1, b = 3, and c = 5.
ab + bc = ac
3 + 15 = 5
18 ≠ 5
Since 18 does not equal 5, this is false. If you were to use the distributive property on ab + bc = ac, you would get
b(a+c) = ac, which doesn't even make sense.
Have a nice day! :)

Plz help Draw the following triangle after a counterclockwise rotation about the origin.

Scorpion4ik [409]

You have to swap to (x,y) to (y,x) and make the y negative so it would be (-y,x) and since it’s counterclockwise it would be in the 4th quadrant

Heyo! I need some help, please. What is the x coordinate if (x, 17) is on a line that passes through the points (1, 2) and (-1,

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The line with points (1,2) and (-1,-8). Work out its equation.

y = mx + b

The slope is:

m = (-8 - 2)/(-1 - 1) = -10/-2 = 5

To find the y intercept, substitute x and y-xoordinates of point (1,2):

2 = 5(1) + b
b = 2 - 5
b = -3

The line is:

y = 5x - 3

Point (x, 17), substitute y-coordinate and solve for x

17 = 5x - 3
5x = 17 + 3
5x = 20
x = 20/5
x = 4
