Answer:
y = 56
Step-by-step explanation:
the midsegment SV is half the length of the side TU , that is
y - 9 = 
(y + 38) ← multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction
2y - 18 = y + 38 ( subtract y from both sides )
y - 18 = 38 ( add 18 to both sides )
y = 56
For the question in the picture: cross multiply.
X1 X2
---- = ----- = X2X3=X1X4
X3 X4
Answer:
(1) 2 (2) (-1/2,0) (3) (0,1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the line is the number times x. This equation is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. In this case, m is 2, so we have our slope. The y-intercept is easy, as we already know it to be (0,1). The x-intercept is the point where the line hits x when y=0. To solve for the x-intercept, we set y to 0 and solve. We have 0=2x+1. First, we subtract 1 from both sides and get -1=2x. Next, to get x by itself, divide both sides by 2. Now we have -1/2=x. Now we have our x coordinate for our x-intercept. Because of this, we get (-1/2,0) as our x-intercept.
