Answer:
x = -11/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratios need to stay the same
5x 11
----- = -------
x-2 3
Using cross products
5x*3 = (x-2) 11
15x = 11x - 22
Subtract 11 from each side
15x-11x = -22
4x = -22
x = -22/4
x = -11/2
Answer:
y = -2x -3
Step-by-step explanation:
- the altitude trough F is a perpendicular line to the line DE
- find slope of line DE
D ( x2 = -5, y2 = -1); E (x1 = 3, y1 = 3)
slope m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1) = (-1-3) / (-5-3) = -4/ -8 = 1/2
-find equation of the altitude trough F
lines that are perpendicular have the slope negative reciprocal (negative reciprocal of 1/2 is -2)
y= -2x +b , for point F(1, -5)
-5 = -2*1 +b, add 2 to both sides
-5 +2 = b, combine like terms
-3 =b
equation of the altitude trough F is y = -2x -3
Answer:
Polygon B is similar to Polygon A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Polygon B has a <em>scale factor</em> of 2, because Polygon B looks identical to A, except the measurements are twice as large.
