<u>Answer</u><u>:</u>
Equation: x + 2 = 7/8x - 15
Solution: x = -136
<u>Explanation</u><u>:</u>
x + 2 = 7/8x - 15
2 + 15 = 7/8x - x
17 = 7/8x - 8/8x
17 = -1/8x
17 × -8 = x
-136 = x
74 units would be your answer for the length segment
Slope=change in y/change in x
one way is t pick 2 points, (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)
the slope is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
pick some points
(8,4) and (8,0)
slope=(0-4)/(8-8)=-4/0=undefined
the slope is undefined
so you could say there is no solpe
answer is D
