Answer:

JL = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the above question that:

In triangle △JKL, ∠JKL is right angle, and KM is an altitude. JK=24 and JM=18, find JL.

From the attached diagram, we can see that

JL : JK = JK: JM

Therefore,

JL/ JK = JK /JM

Where JL = Unknown

JK = 24

JM = 18

JL/ 24 = 24/18

Cross Multiply

24 × 24 = JL × 18

Divide both sides by 18

JL = (24 × 24) /18

JL = 576/18

JL = 32

Answer:

$Y' = (-2, 4\frac{2}{3})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Y = (-3,7)$

$Scale\ Factor = (\frac{2}{3}x,\frac{2}{3}y)$

Required

Determine Y'

Y' can be solved by multiplying the scale factor by Y

i.e.

$Y' = Scale\ Factor * Y$

For, the x coordinates.

$Y' = \frac{2}{3}x$

Where

$x = -3$

$Y' = \frac{2}{3} * -3$

$Y' = \frac{-6}{3}$

$Y = -2$

For the y coordinates:

$Y' = \frac{2}{3}y$

Where

$y = 7$

$Y' = \frac{2}{3} * 7$

$Y' = \frac{14}{3}$

$Y' = 4\frac{2}{3}$

Hence:

$Y' = (-2, 4\frac{2}{3})$

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

The slope is -1

Step-by-step explanation:

It's decreasing which means it's negative and it decreases by 1 every time x increases by 1.
