1.53 rounded to the nearest tenth is 1.5
With a given parallel line and a given point on the line
we can use the point-line method: y-y0=m(x-x0)
where
y=mx+k is the given line, and
(x0,y0) is the given point.
Here
m=-10, k=-5, (x0,y0)=(-3,5)
=> the required line L is given by:
L: y-5=-10(x-(-3))
on simplification
L: y=-10x-30+5
L: y=-10x-25
690
12×36 + 258 = 690 For extending to 20 characters
If the polygons are similar, then the top side is equal to one half of the left side.
Since side (x -1) = 8, then x = 9.
