Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange the given equation into this form

10x + 20y + 40 = 0 ( divide all terms by 10 to simplify )

x + 2y + 4 = 0 ( subtract x + 4 from both sides )

2y = - x - 4 ( divide all terms by 2 )

y = - $\frac{1}{2}$ x - 2 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - $\frac{1}{2}$ and y- intercept c = - 2

Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Δ NML and Δ PST are similar right triangles, we can set up the following proportional statement to establish their relationship:

$\frac{ML}{NM} = \frac{ST}{PS}$

$\frac{8}{10} = \frac{x - 1}{x + 2}$

Cross multiply:

8(x + 2) = 10 (x - 1)

8x + 16 = 10x - 10

Subtract 8x from both sides:

8x - 8x + 16 = 10x - 8x - 10

16 = 2x - 10

Add 10 to both sides:

16 + 10 = 2x - 10 + 10

26 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2:

$\frac{26}{2} = \frac{2x}{2}$

13 = x

Verify whether x = 13 is the correct value:

$\frac{ML}{NM} = \frac{ST}{PS}$

$\frac{8}{10} = \frac{x - 1}{x + 2}$

$\frac{8/2}{10/2} = \frac{4}{5}$

$\frac{x -1}{x+2} = \frac{13 - 1}{13 + 2} = \frac{12}{15} = \frac{12 / 3}{15 /3} = \frac{4}{5}$

This shows the proportional relationship between $\frac{ML}{NM} = \frac{ST}{PS}$ , and that ΔNML and ΔPST are indeed similar right triangles.

Therefore, the correct answer is x = 13.

What property was used on 14k + 2 (3k+5) -5 = 10 to obtain 14k + 6k +10 - 5 =10

Elis [28]

$\boxed{\text{The distributive property}}\\\\\text{In order to solve the equation, you would have to first use the }\\\text{distributive property:}\\\\14k + 2 (3k+5) -5 = 10\\\\\text{Distribute the 2 to the variables inside the parenthesis}\\\\14k+6k+10-5=10\\\\\text{You can see that your outcome matches the equation in the question}\\\\\text{Therefore, the distributive property would be your answer}$
