Answer:

y = one-third x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

Slope Formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step 1: Find slope m

m = (4 - 1)/(3 + 6)

m = 3/9

m = 1/3

y = 1/3x + b

Step 2: Find b

4 = 1/3(3) + b

4 = 1 + b

b = 3

Step 3: Rewrite

y = 1/3x + 3

What is the value of the variables?

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

x=9 and w=12

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for w and x, create proportions between the two similar triangles.

$\frac{Big Side}{Big Side} =\frac{little side}{little side}$

where Big represents the bigger triangle an little represents the smaller triangle.

$\frac{8}{16}=\frac{w}{12+w}$

Cross multiply and solve for w.

8(12+w)=16(w)

96 + 8w = 16w

96 + 8w - 8w = 16w - 8w

96 = 8w

w=12

Repeat with a new proportion.

$\frac{8}{22}=\frac{12}{24+x}$

Cross multiply and solve for x.

8(24+x)=22(12)

192 + 8x = 264

8x = 72

x=9
