Answer:

(4,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line is y = (-1/2)x - 2. At the x-intercept, y = 0. Setting y = (-1/2)x - 2 to zero, we get (1/2)x = 2, and thus x = 4.

Help me!!! Is for today!!! And what is its congruency?

Answer:

Side-Side-Side (SSS) Congruence Property

Step-by-step explanation:

Congruence just means that two things are of the same size. For instance, if you have two congruent side lengths, they are the same length. In this picture, you can see that both triangles have a side with one dash and a side with two dashes. In geometry, to show that two lines are congruent you give them the same number of dashes, and therefore you know for sure that those two pairs of sides are congruent. Finally, the triangles share a side length, so you know that that side length is equal for them. Therefore, the appropriate congruence property here is SSS, since you know that three pairs of sides are congruent.

Write the equation of the line that passes through (0, 3) and is parallel to the line 3x + 5y = 6.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

There's more ways than one to solve this, just as there's more ways than one to skin a cat.

Two paralle lines have the same slope, so the desired new line looks exactly like the given line 3x + 5y = 6, except that the constant, 6, is replaced by another value.

Write out 3x + 5y = c
Replace x with 0 and y with 3. Then 3(0) + 5(3) = c, and c = 15.

Thus, the equation of the new, parallel, line is 3x + 5y = 15.

two mountain bikers leave from the same parking lot and head in opposite directions on two different trails. the first rider goe

sveta [45]

Applying the required rule or theorem, it can be concluded that the second biker is farther from the parking lot. The distance of the bikers to the parking lot are:

i. First biker = 17.0 km

ii. Second biker = 20.22 km

The path of travel of both bikers would form a triangle. Applying the Pythagoras theorem to the path of the first biker would give his distance from the starting point. While applying the cosine rule to the path of second rider would gives his distance to the starting point.

Thus,

a. To determine the distance of the first biker from the parking lot.

Let the required distance be represented by x. Applying the Pythagoras theorem, we have:

$hyp^{2}$ = $adj 1^{2}$ + $adj 2^{2}$
