If you put and label the three points in a line, you will see that RS + ST = RT.

Then you only need to substitue with the expressions given for RS and ST to find RT.

RT = x +1 + 2x - 2 = 3x - 1

Also, RT = 5x - 5

Then, 3x - 1 = 5x - 5

5x - 3x = 5 - 1

2x = 4

x = 4/2 = 2

NOw substitute x in any of the expressions for RT:

RT = 5x - 5 = 5(2) - 5 = 10 - 5 = 5

Answer: RT = 5

Find
Westkost [7]

Answer:

dy/dx = -b/a cot α

Step-by-step explanation:

x² / a² + y² / b² = 1

Take derivative with respect to x.

2x / a² + 2y / b² dy/dx = 0

2y / b² dy/dx = -2x / a²

dy/dx = -b²x / (a²y)

Substitute:

dy/dx = -b²a cos α / (a²b sin α)

dy/dx = -b cos α / (a sin α)

dy/dx = -b/a cot α
