Answer:

B. 18 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because they are similar, we can say that segment AC corresponds to segment DF, and segment AB corresponds to segment ED. So, we can set up a proportion.

$\frac{16}{24} =\frac{12}{x}$

$\frac{2}{3} =\frac{12}{x}$

2 * x = 12 * 3

2x = 36

x = 18

So, the length of ED is B. 18 cm.

Hope this helps!

Please help me fast!!!( I am close to a 100 so please don't give me a wrong answer)

Allisa [31]

Answer:

y = 5x

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The slope-intercept form of any linear equation is $y = mx + b$ , where y = y-coordinate, m = slope, x = x-coordinate, and b = y-intercept.

2. To find the slope, let's take the two points (0,0) and (100,500) to then plug their values in this formula: $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\frac{500-0}{100-0}$
$\frac{500}{100}$
$5$

3. Okay, great! Now that we have our slope, the equation, so far, looks like this: y = 5x + b.

4. Because b is the y-intercept, b will equal 0 because the line intersects with the y-axis at the coordinate (0,0).

Therefore, our equation is y = 5x.
