Answer:

So M is the midpoint of RS lmbo

Step-by-step explanation:

What you have here are lengths of two equal segments, expressed as different algebraic expressions.

you just set those two expressions equal, and solve for x. Then plug that x into EITHER of the two expressions, to get the equal lengths of RM & MS.

What is the slope of a line with endpoints (-11,5) and (5,-7)

krok68 [10]

Answer:

-6/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope=y1-y2/x1-x2

Where (X1,y1) is (-11,5) and (X2,y2) is(5,-7)

Slope=5+7/-11-5

=-12/16

= -6/8

So the slope is -6/8

IfA=(-2,-4) and B=(-8,4), what is the length of AB?

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

<h2>10 units </h2>

solution,

A(-2,-4)--->(X1,y1)

B(-8,4)----->(x2,y2)

now,

$ab = \sqrt{(x2 - x1) ^{2} + {(y2 - y1)}^{2} } \\ \: \: \: \: = \sqrt{ (- 8 - ( - 2)) ^{2} + (4 - ( - 4)) ^{2} } \\ \: \: \: = \sqrt{( - 8 + 2) ^{2} + {(4 + 4)}^{2} } \\ \: \: \: = \sqrt{( - 6) ^{2} + {(8)}^{2} } \\ \: \: = \sqrt{36 + 64} \\ \: \: \: = \sqrt{100} \\ \: \: \: = \sqrt{ {(10)}^{2} } \\ \: \: \: \: = 10 \: units$

Hope this helps..

The area of a rectangle is 27ft squared, and the length of the rectangle is 3ft less than twice the width. Find the dimensions o

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

width =4.5ft

length=6ft

Step-by-step explanation:

w = x

L = 2x-3

area = L*w

27 = x(2x-3)

$27=2x^{2} -3x$

$2x^{2} -3x-27=0$

$2x^{2} +6x-9x-27=0$

2x(x+3)-9(x+3)=0

(2x-9)(x+3)=0

2x-9=0

2x=9

x=9/2

x=4.5

L=2x-3=2*4.5-3 =9-3=6
