Answer:

\huge\boxed{a=\dfrac{16}{3}=5\dfrac{1}{3}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\triangle ZYW\sim\triangle WYX\ (AAA)\\\\\text{Therefore corresponding sides are in proportion}\\\\\dfrac{YX}{YW}=\dfrac{YW}{ZY}\\\\\text{substitute}\\\\YX=a;\ YW=4;\ ZY=3\\\\\dfrac{a}{4}=\dfrac{4}{3}\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 4}\\\\4\cdot\dfrac{a}{4}=4\cdot\dfrac{4}{3}\qquad\text{cancel 4}\\\\a=\dfrac{16}{3}

If the two lines y1 = -1/2x +5 and y2 = 2x + 5 were to be graphed, what would their intersection point represent?
grigory [225]

Answer:

D. Their intersection point is the only point where the same input into both functions yields the same output.​

Step-by-step explanation:

The intersection point of 2 graphed lines represents the solution.

At this point, for both lines, there is the same x value (input) and the same y value (output) because both of the lines have that point in common.

So, if those 2 lines were to be graphed, the intersection point would represent the only point with the same input and output for both functions.

D is the correct answer.
