Answer:

RK= 13 SK= 12

Step-by-step explanation

First, we find the missing length of RK using the given information: 65-52=13

Then we divide 65 by 13 to get a scale factor: 65/13=5

(To check, we multipuly: 13*5=65)

We then apply the scale factor to MK to find SK: 60/5=12

(To check we multipuly: 5*12=60)

We now have our answers: RK:13, SK:12

Blake is playing a racing game on his computer. The game tracks the locations of objects using and y coordinates (see graph belo

Anvisha [2.4K]

<h3>Answer: 2.2 units</h3>

============================================

Explanation:

I'll define these point labels

B = Blake's starting position
F = finish line
C = the third unmarked point of the triangle

The locations of the points are

B = (-8,1)
C = (-6,-3)
F = (4,-2)

Use the distance formula to find the distance from B to C

$B = (x_1,y_1) = (-8,1) \text{ and } C = (x_2,y_2) = (-6,-3)\\\\d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-8-(-6))^2 + (1-(-3))^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-8+6)^2 + (1+3)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-2)^2 + (4)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{4 + 16}\\\\d = \sqrt{20} \ \text{ ... exact distance}\\\\d \approx 4.47214 \ \ \text{... approximate distance}\\\\$

Segment BC is roughly 4.47214 units long.

Following similar steps, you should find that segment CF is approximately 10.04988 units long.

If Blake doesn't take the shortcut, then he travels approximately BC+CF = 4.47214+10.04988 = 14.52202 units. This is the path from B to C to F in that order.

---------

Use the distance formula again to find the distance from B to F. This distance is about 12.36932 units. He travels this amount if he takes the shortcut.

Subtract this and the previous result we got

14.52202 - 12.36932 = 2.1527

That rounds to 2.2

This is the amount of distance he doesn't have to travel when he takes the shortcut.

In other words, the track is roughly 2.2 units shorter when taking the shortcut.

Side note: Replace "units" with whatever units you're working with (eg: feet or meters).

Write an equation in point slope form for a line that includes the origin and (9,-3)

aivan3 [116]

So we are given two points that the line crosses, the origin and (9, -3), we can calculate the slope m of the line with these data, dividing the y segment by the x segment:
m = (-3 - 0)/(9 - 0) = -3/9
m = -1/3
then we can use the point slope line equation to find the line equation, lets use the point origin (0,0) to do so:
y - y1 = m(x - x1), where x1, y1 are the coordinates of a point that the line crosses:
y - 0 = (-1/3)(x - 0)
y = <span>(-1/3)x
so this is the equation of the line, slope -1/3 and y intercept 0</span>
