Answer:
12 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the two triangles are similar:
Hope this helps!
Y = 1/2x - 3. Slope here is 1/2. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is flip the slope and change the sign. So the perpendicular line will have a slope of -2.
y = mx + b
slope(m) = -2
(1,-1)...x = 1 and y = -1
now we sub and find b, the y int
-1 = -2(1) + b
-1 = -2 + b
-1 + 2 = b
1 = b
so ur perpendicular equation is : y = -2x + 1
Answer:
x = -5/7
Step-by-step explanation:
8 1
---------- = ----------
x+3 x+1
Using cross products
8 (x+1) = 1 (x+3)
Distribute
8x+8 = x+3
Subtract x from each side
8x-x +8 = x-x+3
7x+8 =3
Subtract 8 from each side
7x +8-8 =3-8
7x = -5
Divide each side by 7
7x/7 = -5/7
x = -5/7
First set up the equation:
Then substitute in known values:
and solve for C
