well, we'll be using the distance formula twice here.

that point, is on the x-axis, what's the value of "y" at the x-axis?  well y = 0, since it's way down at the 0 level, so the point must be (x , 0).

the distance then from (x,0) to (-3,-1) is the same distance as from (x,0) to 1,6).

\bf \begin{array}{rcllll} \stackrel{\textit{distance from (x,0) to (-3,-1)}}{\sqrt{(-3-x)^2+(-1-0)^2}}&=&\stackrel{\textit{distance from (x,0) to (1,6)}}{\sqrt{(1-x)^2+(6-0)^2}} \\\\\\ (-3-x)^2+(-1-0)^2&=&(1-x)^2+(6-0)^2 \\\\\\ 9+6x+x^2+1&=&1-2x+x^2+36 \\\\\\ x^2+6x+10&=&x^2-2x+37 \end{array} \\\\\\ 6x+10=-2x+37\implies 8x+10=37\implies 8x=27 \\\\\\ x = \cfrac{27}{8}\implies x = 3\frac{3}{8}~\hfill \blacktriangleright \left( 3\frac{3}{8}~,~0 \right) \blacktriangleleft

here are some numbers: 8, 11, 13, 18, 25, 37 8, 13 , 18 is an arithmetic progression and the rule is to add 5 use three of the n
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Progression: 11, 18, 25

Rule: Add 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

List of numbers: 8, 11, 13, 18, 25, 37

Sample Progression: 8, 13, 18; with common difference of 5

Required

Form a different progression using any three listed numbers

To solve this; we'll make use of trial and error methods;

<em>NB: I've tried several numbers; So, I'll just stick to the one that works</em>

To start with;

Select ->11

Add 7 to 11: 11 + 7 - > 18

Add 7 to 18: 18 + 7 -> 25

With the above illustration, we've successfully used three numbers (11, 18 and 25) to form a new progression and the rule is to add 7

Rewrite the standard form equation below into slope-intercept form.<br>x – 2y = 3
Gnom [1K]
X-2y = 3

-2y=3-x move the x over to the other side 

-y=3/2 -1/2x divide both sides by 2

y=1/2x - 3/2 divide both sides by -1
