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

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

Line p passes through A(-2, -4) and has a slope of 1/2 What is the standard form of the equation for line p?

yarga [219]

Point slope form is y-(-4) = 1/2(x-(-2)

y+4 =1/2 (x+2)

now the standard form 2y+8=x+2
so -x+2y=-6 is the equation for line p in standard form
