Answer:
x = 23
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
=
=
= 3
multiply both sides by (x - 10)
3(x - 10) = 39 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x - 10 = 13 ( add 10 to both sides )
x = 23
First, put it into point-slope form.
Find the slope:
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(-6-(-2)/(2-1)
m=(-6+2)/1
m=-4/1
m=-4
Now, put it into point-slope:
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-2=-4(x-(-6)
y-2=-4(x+6)
y-2=-4x-24
Slope intercept form: y= mx+b
Add 2 to the other side.
y=-4x-22 <== the answer
I hope this helps!
