Answer:

JL = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that K is on line segment JL, therefore:

KL + JK = JL (according to segment addition postulate)

KL = 2x - 2

JK = 5x + 2

JL = 4x + 9

Thus:

(2x - 2) + (5x + 2) = (4x + 9)

Solve for x

2x - 2 + 5x + 2 = 4x + 9

2x +5x - 2 + 2 = 4x + 9

7x = 4x + 9

Subtract 4x from both sides

7x - 4x = 4x + 9 - 4x

3x = 9

Divide both sides by 3

\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{9}{3}

x = 3

Find the numerical length of JL

JL = 4x + 9

Plug in the value of x

JL = 4(3) + 9 = 12 + 9 = 21

Write an equation in slope intercept form of the line that passes through the point (-5, -1) with slope -3.
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

y= -3x-16

Step-by-step explanation:

slope intercept form is written as y=mx+b.  m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.  -3=m

we know that (-5,-1) is 5 points away from the origin, and that the slope is -3, so 5 times -3 equals -15.  subtract 15 from -1 (y-coordinate) in order to get the y-intercept (when x=0).

Shelia deposited $800 into an account that earned 3% simple interest. She did not make any other deposits or withdrawals. After
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Sheila earned $120 in interest.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the interest earned by Sheila we can use the simple interest formula shown bellow:

i = P*r*t

Where i is the interested earned, P is the amount invested, r is the interest rate and t is the total time. For this case we have:

i = 800*0.03*5

i = 24*5

i = 120

Sheila earned $120 in interest.

Two sets are involved.  There is a directional property, the relation is defined from one set called the domain on to another set called the codomain. A function is a relation that has exactly one output for each input in the domain.
