The given equation is

$8-9x=27$

To solve for x, we have to subtract 8 to both sides

$8-9x-9 = 27-8 \\ -9x = 19$

Now we need to get rid of -9 from the left side, and for that we do division

$\frac{-9x}{-9} = \frac{19}{-9}$

$x = - \frac{19}{9}$

Write a equation of the lines passes through the given points (-2,7) (1,1) the equation is?

vredina [299]

The point-slope form:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

m - slope

(x₁, y₁) - point

The formula of a slope:

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

We have the points (-2, 7) and (1, 1). Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{1-7}{1-(-2)}=\dfrac{-6}{3}=-2$

$y-7=-2(x-(-2))\\\\\boxed{y-7=-2(x+2)}$ point-slope form

$\boxed{y=-2x+3}$ slope-intercept form

$\boxed{2x+y=3}$ standard form

Use your knowledge of similar triangles to explain why the construction in the image divides the line segment into equal parts.

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

This image show how to divide a given line segment into a number of equal parts by using a compass and ruler. First, draw the line AB. Secondly, draw a line above and divide into 5 equal distances to make a line AC. Third, using a compass by getting the distance of point C and B to be equal in the distance of point A and D, also getting the distance of point C to A to be equal to point B and D, then to make the Line DB. Finally divide into 5 equal parts by compass.

I have to determine whether the sides of the triangle form a pythagorean triple.

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

How do you know if side lengths form a Pythagorean triple?

Pythagorean triples may also help us to find the missing side of a right triangle faster. If two sides of a right triangle form part of a triple then we can know the value of the third side without having to calculate using the Pythagorean theorem. From the ratio, we know that it is a Pythagorean triple.
