Answer:
10.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
By similar triangles:
IJ / 21 = 8 /(8+8) = 1/2
IJ / 21 = 1/2
IJ = 1/2 * 21
= 10.5.
Parallel: the lines have = slopes. We thus need 5/6 to equal 2/p. then 5p must equal 12, and p = 12/5. (answer)
Check: Is 5/6 = 2 / (12/5)? YES
Perp.: The lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of one another.
Then -6/5 = 2/p, or
-6 2
---- = ----
5 p Thus, -6p = 10, and p = -5/3 (answer)
Answer:
x = 33
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the equation of the line is in the form 
. To find b, we can use the fact that (6,-5) lies on the line, meaning that both sides of the equation are equal when x=6 and y=-5.
Hence, the equation of the line is 
, and its graph looks something like follows.
