M or the slope has to be constant throughout the graph. This is because in order for a line to be linear it has to be increasing or decreasing at the same rate. So it the slope was 2 from point x 1 -2 then the slope changed to 1 from 3-4 it would not be linear. :)
Answer:
The answer is 'C'
Step-by-step explanation:
Congruent simply means "the same." When a line divides two parralel lines transversals are created. This means that there are angles on both lines that are similar. To fully understand which angles would be the same, I reccommend researching "transversals" for more information, or asking your teacher about it as it is hard to explain without a proper diagram.
This is a ratio problem; the ratio of the length to width is constant (and therefore equal):
4 /6 = 15 / x
Now, with a ratio, we may do any allowable algebra operation: cross-multiply, invert both sides, multiply or divide both sides by the same amount, etc.
Let's cross-multiply:
4x = (15)(6)
x = 90/4
x = 22.5 in.
