Every point on the x-axis has y-coordinate 0.
Let y = 0, and solve for x.
y = -5x + 5
0 = -5x + 5
5x = 5
x = 1
The line crosses the x-axis at x = 1.
Answer:
1st option is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
blue line: slope is 1 and y-intercept is 1; therefore equation is y= x + 1
red line: slope is -1 and y-intercept is -3; therefore equation is y= -x - 3
Answer:
Not a right triangle
Step-by-step explanation:
We can figure out if it is a right triangle or not by using the pythagorean theorem.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
In this case a and b are 16 and 18
In order for it to be a right triangle, c has to equal 34, in this problem.
16^2 + 18^2 = c^2
= 580^2
= 
= 24.0832
Since 24.0832 does not equal 34, this is not a right triangle
In order to do this you have to substitute b with 9 and get 3a+9=54, now subtract 9 from both sides to leave a by itself and get 3a=45, now divide 3 in both sides to leave a by itself and get a=15
Hope this helps
