Answer:

The value of x  = 3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, AC  = 3 ,( 5x - 3)

         BD = x , (x +9)

INTERSECTING CHORD THEOREM

It states that the products of the lengths of the line segments on each chord are equal.

Applying the theorem here, we get

3( 5x - 3 )  = x  (x +9)\\\implies 3(5x) - 3(3) = x(x) + 9 (x)\\or, 15x - 9= x^2 + 9x\\\implies x^2 + 9x - 15 x + 9 = 0\\or, x^2 -6x + 9 = 0

Simplifying for the value of x , we get

x^2 -6x + 9 = 0  \implies x^2 - 3x - 3x + 9 = 0\\x(x-3) -3(x -3) =0\\or, (x-3)(x-3) = 0

or, x = 3

Hence, the value of x  = 3 units

Find the slope of the line that passed though the two points <br> (0,5) and (-9, -4)
OverLord2011 [107]

To find the slope, use the slope(m) formula:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}        and plug in the two points

(0, 5) = (x₁, y₁)

(-9, -4) = (x₂, y₂)

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m=\frac{-4-5}{-9-0}

m=\frac{-9}{-9}    [two negatives cancel each other out and become positive]

m = 1      The slope is 1
