The answer to this is (4,0)
check the picture below.
so, when we have a line from a 90° angle running perpendicular to the opposite side, like in this case, we end up with three similar triangles, a large one containing the other two, a medium and a small one.
now, using the sides proportions as you see there, of the small and large one, we get that much.
Answer:
22
Step-by-step explanation:
x-1 is a midsegment.
According to the Triangle midsegment theorem, x-1 is half of the third side (42)
x-1 = 42/2
x-1 = 21
x= 22
or
2x-2=42
2x=44
x=22
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the line in question is the same as the slope of the line parallel to it. Using y = mx + b, where m is the slope, we find the slope of our line is -3.
Using the pt-slope form, y - y1 = m( x - x1), we get y - (-1) = -3( x - 2) or y + 1 = -3x + 6. Which leads us to y = -3x + 5. QED
