Answer:

RT = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Point S lies on the line segment RT.

We have, ST = 3x-8, RT = 4x and RS = 4x-7

It is clear that, RT = RS+ST

Putting the values, we get :

4x = 4x-7 + 3x-8

Taking like terms together,

4x-4x-3x = -7-8

-3x = -15

x = 5

Put the value of x in RT = 4x.

So,

RT = 4(5)

RT = 20

Hence, length of RT = 20.

If you were to write the equation of this line in the form y=mx+c what is the value of m

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

B choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph decreases. Therefore, the slope is in negative. We can rule out A and C choices.

It is very obvious to tell because of steepness. Low steepness = low value

High steepness = high value.

We can also find the slope by using rise/run.

$m = \frac{dy}{dx}$

The change of y over the change of x.

Given the coordinate points (0,1) and (4,0). Both points are part of the graph.

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$m = \frac{1 - 0}{0 - 4} \\ m = \frac{1}{ - 4} \\ m = - \frac{1}{4}$

Therefore the value of m is - 1/4
