For this case, the first thing to do is to observe that the figure is symmetrical with respect to the FH axis.

Therefore, the following lengths are the same:

$GH = HK$

So, by equalizing both sides we have:

$5m + 1 = 3m + 7$

From here, we clear the value of m.

We have then:

$5m - 3m = 7 - 1\\2m = 6$

$m = \frac{6}{2}\\m = 3$

Answer:

The value of m is given by:

$m = 3$

Identify the terms, like terms, coefficients, and constants in each expression.

Simplifying
8 + 6t = 3t + t

Combine like terms: 3t + t = 4t
8 + 6t = 4t

Solving
8 + 6t = 4t

Solving for variable 't'.

Move all terms containing t to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4t' to each side of the equation.
8 + 6t + -4t = 4t + -4t

Combine like terms: 6t + -4t = 2t
8 + 2t = 4t + -4t

Combine like terms: 4t + -4t = 0
8 + 2t = 0

Add '-8' to each side of the equation.
8 + -8 + 2t = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
0 + 2t = 0 + -8
2t = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 0 + -8 = -8
2t = -8

Divide each side by '2'.
t = -4

Simplifying
t = -4

What equation represents a line that passes through (4,1/3) and has a slope of 3/4

AysviL [449]

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{\frac{1}{3}})
\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad 
% slope = m
slope = m\implies \cfrac{3}{4}
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-\cfrac{1}{3}=\cfrac{3}{4}(x-4)\implies y-\cfrac{1}{3}=\cfrac{3}{4}x-3
\\\\\\
y=\cfrac{3}{4}x-3+\cfrac{1}{3}\implies y=\cfrac{3}{4}x-\cfrac{8}{3}$
