Answer:
The answer is C: = 25/48 = 0.5208333333333333......
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the equation of a perpendicular line, you first need to find the negative reciprocal of the slope given. The slope is -1/3, so the slope of the perpendicular line will be 3
Now we just need to find the y intercept using the point (3, 2) and you can plug the coordinates in and then solve for b. Let's see what that looks like.
y=3x+b
2=3*(3)+b
2=9+b
-7=b So now we know the y-intercept and slope. We just put them together now
y=3x-7
Answer:
The length of DE is 14 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given in triangle ABC segment DE is parallel to the side AC . (The endpoints of segment DE lie on the sides AB and BC respectively). we have to find the length of DE.
Given lengths are AC=20cm, AB=17cm, and BD=11.9cm
In ΔBDE and ΔBAC
∠BDE=∠BAC (∵Corresponding angles)
∠BED=∠BCA (∵Corresponding angles)
By AA similarity rule, ΔBDE~ΔBAC
∴their corresponding sides are in proportion
