Answer:
B. 12
Step-by-step explanation:
✔️Find the value of x
The side lengths of two similar triangles are always proportional.
Given that ∆ABC ~ ∆LMN, therefore:
AB = 5
LM = 10
AC = x + 5
LN = 3x + 3
Plug in the values
Cross multiply
(distributive property)
Collect like terms
Divide both sides by 5
x = 7
✔️Find AC
AC = x + 5
Plug in the value of x
AC = 7 + 5
AC = 12
ANSWER
EXPLANATION
We want to find the absolute value function for the line in blue.
The general form of an absolute value function is:
where (h, k) = vertex
From the line, the vertex of the graph in blue is:
To find a, we have to pick a point (x, y) on the line and input it into the general function.
Let us pick (2, 1).
Therefore, we have:
Therefore, the absolute value function is:
