Line l passes through the points (1, 3) and (2, 5), and

Mathematics

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to find both equations first.

Slope for line l can be found by doing

 (1  ,  3)

- (2 ,  5)

-------------

  -1      -2          so slope is -2/-1 or just 2

y=mx+b is a linear equation with slope m and y-intercept b

y=2x+b  now we need b

3=2(1)+b  plug in a point on the line

3=2+b

so b=1

The equation for line l is y=2x+1

The other equation line m has the slope given which is 1 so this equation will be of the form y=1x+b

to find this b (this y-intercept) use the point that you know is on the line

4=1(1)+b  

so b=3

so line m is y=1x+3 or y=x+3

So we want to find when y=2x+1 and y=x+3 intersect

Replace first y with the 2nd y which is x+3

x+3=2x+1

subtract x on both sides

  3= x+1

subract 1 on both sides

 2=x

 x=2

y=2x+1

y=2(2)+1

y=4+1

y=5

So the intersection is (2,5)

So a=2 and b=5

a-b =2-5=-3

The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 63 inches. If the length of each side is (4x-3), find the value of x. Equilateral me
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3*(4x - 3) = 63                         Divide both sides by 3

4x - 3 = 63/3

4x - 3 = 21                                Add 3 to both sides

4x = 21 + 3

4x = 24                                    Divide by 4 on both sides

4x/4 = 24/4

x = 6

Note: The perimeter is the sum of all three sides. One side is 4x - 3 All 3 sides must be 3*(4x - 3)

Answer:

The answer is false.

26/3 is 8.66. 8.66 + 6 is 14.66 which doesn't equal 24
