Answer:
f(x) = -2/3(x +11) +5
Step-by-step explanation:
The point-slope form of the equation of a line will give you the desired linear function:
y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . for slope m through point (h, k)
You are give point (x, f(x)) = (-11, 5) = (h, k), and you are given slope m = -2/3. Putting these values into the function form gives ...
f(x) = -2/3(x +11) +5
The answer should be D, divide by 6.78.
Let's call Maura's age now M and Cara's age now C.
We know Maura is five years younger than Cara. In symbols that is, M - 5 = C
We also know that 7 years ago Maura's age was half of Cara's. Maura's age 7 years ago was M-7 and Cara's age seven years ago was C-7. Since Maura's age (7 years ago) was half of Cara's we can write in symbols:

Let's take that last equation and substitute C - 5 for M (this is because according to our first equation these are equal). When we do this we get an equation with only C as the variable and solve for C as follows:







Cara is 17. Since Maura is 5 years younger she is 12.
As a check, seven years ago Cara was 10 and Maura was 5. It is the case that Maura was half Cara's age seven years ago.
The answer:
according to the image, the main theorem concerning right triangle similarity is as follow:
the altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle divides the triangle into two triangles that are similar to the original triangle and each other,
in our case, KL is the altitude, and by applying theorem, we get three triangles that are similar:
therefore:
<span>△JKL ~ △JKM
</span><span>△JKM ~ △JKM
</span><span>△JMK ~ △KML</span>
If you use the SAS theorem, you can prove the triangles are congruent. Due to vertical angles, we have one angle, and we know one side is congruent. In order to prove these triangles are simillar, we need another side
