Set up a proportional fraction relating RSV and RTU. Before doing that, sort out what RT is equal to;
Now, we can equate SR/SV with RT/TU. This is something we can do because they are similar, and therefore should have equal ratios between sides.
Cross multiply them, and solve for x.
That being said, the little cutout at the top left claims the answer is 8. If you verify my answer, it works out.
Answer:
Neither
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to transform one of the equations into its slope-intercept form:
y + 2/5x = 8
Subtract 2/5x from both sides:
y = -2/5x + 8
y = -5/2x - 7
Graphing both lines, they do intersect at point (-7.14, 10.86), but they are not parallel, nor are they perpendicular from each other. By definition, perpendicular lines must appear to be perpendicular (that is, they intersect at a 90° angle).
Looking at the attached graph (where the purple line is y = -2/5x + 8), their lines do not form a 90° angle.
Therefore, the correct answer is neither.
