You can solve this by using "similar triangles".
In triangle ABC, we are looking for side AC which is x. Side AC is similar to side DF in triangle EDF.
You can solve for side x by picking two sides in triangle ABC and their corresponding sides in triangle EDF. This is what I mean:

Substitute for the values of AC, BC, DF and EF:


To solve for y, do the same thing. Pick two sides on triangle ABC and their corresponding sides in triangle DEF.

Substitute for the values and solve:


We have the value x to be 5.5 units and y to be 6 units.
Answer:
b. (1, 3, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
A graphing calculator or scientific calculator can solve this system of equations for you, or you can use any of the usual methods: elimination, substitution, matrix methods, Cramer's rule.
It can also work well to try the offered choices in the given equations. Sometimes, it can work best to choose an equation other than the first one for this. The last equation here seems a good one for eliminating bad answers:
a: -1 -5(1) +2(-4) = -14 ≠ -18
b: 1 -5(3) +2(-2) = -18 . . . . potential choice
c: 3 -5(8) +2(1) = -35 ≠ -18
d: 2 -5(-3) +2(0) = 17 ≠ -18
This shows choice B as the only viable option. Further checking can be done to make sure that solution works in the other equations:
2(1) +(3) -3(-2) = 11 . . . . choice B works in equation 1
-(1) +2(3) +4(-2) = -3 . . . choice B works in equation 2
<span>2/3 + y - 4/5 = 1/3
y = 1/3 - 2/3 + 4/5
y = -1/3 + 4/5
y =-5/15 + 12/15
y = 7/15</span>
Answer:
Y =4X -3
Step-by-step explanation:
x1 y1 x2 y2
1 1 -2 -11
(Y2-Y1) (-11)-(1)= -12 ΔY -12
(X2-X1) (-2)-(1)= -3 ΔX -3
slope= 4
B= -3
Y =4X -3
