Answer:
All that's necessary is to add 4 to both sides of the equation. This gives
... y = 1/2(x -8) +4
If you like, you can simplify this by eliminating the parentheses and collecting terms.
... y = 1/2·x -4 +4
... y = (1/2)x
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct choice is D.) No solution
Answer:
a. m<B = 100°
b. m<L = 55°
c. Scale factor = 9/11
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Similar triangles have their three corresponding angles congruent to each other, while the ratio of their corresponding sides are proportional to each other.
Since ∆ABC ~ ∆GLJ, therefore,
<A = <G,
<B = <J
<C = <L
m<J = 100° (given)
Therefore,
m<B = m<J = 100°
m<B = 100°
b) m<A = m<G
m<A = 25° (given)
Therefore,
m<A = m<G = 25°
m<G = 25°
m<L = 180° - (m<J + m<G)
Substitute
m<L = 180° - (100° + 25°)
m<L = 55°
c) scale factor of smaller triangle to the larger = side length of smaller triangle / corresponding side length of bigger triangle
Scale factor = AB/GJ
Substitute
Scale factor = 18/22
Simplify
Scale factor = 9/11
