If they intersect they have the same x and y values so we can say y=y which can be expressed as:

-7x/8+1/4=-3x/4+1/2 make all terms have a common denominator of 8

-7x/8+2/8=-6x/8+4/8 now multiply all terms by 8

-7x+2=-6x+4 add 6x to both sides

-x+2=4 subtract 2 from both sides

-x=2 divide both sides by -1

x=-2, now we solve for y using either original equation...

y=-3(-2)/4+1/2

y=6/4+1/2

y=6/4+2/4

y=8/4

y=2 so the lines intersect at the point:

(-2, 2)

HELP ME GUYS I AM ILLITERATE<br><br> find the size of unknown angle

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔAOC is an isosceles triangle as OC = OA ----> RADIUS

42 + 42 + ∠AOC = 180 {Angle sum property}

84 + ∠AOC = 180

∠AOC = 180 - 84

∠AOC = 96°

y = 96/2 {Central angle theorem}

y = 48° ------------(I)

∠B + ∠D = 180 {sum of opposite angles of Cyclic Quadrilateral}

x + y = 180

x + 48 = 180 {from (I) }

x = 180 - 48

x = 132°

In right triangle DEF, it is known that Cos D = (12/13) and Cos F = (5/13). If FD = 39, then DE = ? Hint, draw the right triangl

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

The value of the line segment $ED$ is 36.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse represents the longest side in the right triangle. In this case, FD represents the hypotenuse as it is a multiple of 13. Based on the trigonometric relations described in the statements, we get the following relationships by definition of cosines:

$\cos D = \frac{ED}{FD}$ (1)
