Find the values of x and y?
1 answer:
Answer:
x = 7; y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
∆ABC is an isosceles triangle.
∴ AC = BC and
(1) 3x - 5 = y + 12
∆ACD is an equilateral triangle.
∴ AC = AD and
(2) 3x - 5 = 5y - 4
From (1) and (2),
y + 12 = 5y - 4
y + 16 = 5y
4y = 16
(3) y = 4
Substitute (3) into (1)
3x - 5 = 4 + 12
3x - 5 = 16
3x = 21
x = 7
x = 7; y = 4
Check:
AC = 3x - 5 = 3(7) - 5 = 21 - 5 = 16
BC = y + 12 = 4 + 12 = 16
AD = 5y - 4 = 5(4) - 4 = 20 - 4 = 16
OK .

Answer:
Option D
Step-by-step explanation:
A). From the graph attached,
Arrow AB represents the RISE and arrow BC represents the RUN.
B). RUN from point A to B (Horizontal distance) = 2 units
Rise from point A to B (Vertical distance) = -4 [Since, downwards arrow represents negative notation]
Slope of the line segment AB =
=
= -2
Therefore, slope of the line = slope of the line segment AB = -2
Option D will be the correct option.
