Answer:

x intercept of CD = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a line AB with its end coordinates. and Another line segment CD which is perpendicular to AB. We have the coordinates of C , and we are asked to find the x intercept of line CD.

For that we need to find the equation of CD

we have coordinates of C , and hence if we have slope of CD we can find equation of CD

Slope of CD can be determine with the help of slope of AB as CD⊥ AB

So, the slope of CD mCD = -\frac{1}{mAB}

Hence we start from determining slope of AB

slope is given as

m= \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m= \frac{14-(-3)}{7-(-10)}=\frac{17}{17}=1

Hence mAB=1

There fore mCD=-1

(∵  Product of Slopes of two perpendicular lines is always -1)

Now we find the equation of CD with the help of slope -1 and coordinates of C(5,12)

m=\frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1}

-1=\frac{y-12}{x-5}

-x+5=y-12

y=-x+17

Hence we have our equation , now in order to find the x intercept we keep y = 0 in it and solve for x

0=-x+17

x=17

Hence the x intercept is 17

How many 3/4 goes into 9/2
gavmur [86]

Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation: First, let's find the least common denominator between the 2 fractions, which is 4. Now let's multiply 9/2 by 2 to get the denominator of 4. Once you multiply the numerator and denominator by 2 you would get 18/4. So now the problem turns into how many 3/4 goes into 18/4. We know that 3/4 x 6 = 18/4. So the final answer is 6.
