Answer:

y = - 7

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 )

Given

y - 3 = - 2(x + 5) ← distribute right side

y - 3 = - 2x - 10 ( add 3 to both sides )

y = - 2x - 7 ← in slope- intercept form

with y- intercept c = - 7

Please find the exact length of the midsegment of trapezoid JKLM with vertices J(6, 10), K(10, 6), L(8, 2), and M(2, 2). Thank y

Answer:

the exact length of the midsegment of trapezoid JKLM = $\mathbf{ = 3 \sqrt{5} }$ i.e 6.708 units on the graph

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram attached below; we can see a graphical representation showing the mid-segment of the trapezoid JKLM. The mid-segment is located at the line parallel to the sides of the trapezoid. However; these mid-segments are X and Y found on the line JK and LM respectively from the graph.

Using the expression for midpoints between two points to determine the exact length of the mid-segment ; we have:

$\mathbf{ YX = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2} }$
