Answer:
x = 14
y = 4
Explanation:
Ok so, just from looking at the two triangles i can tell they're congruent right triangles. I used different colors to show which sides of the triangle correspond and are equal to each other in my attatched photo.
So the side thats equal to x is the same length as the side that's equal to y+10 on the other triangle.
So we can write the equation x = y + 10.
Using this same method, the side that's equal to x + 2 is the same length as the side that's equal to 4y on the other triangle.
So, we can write the equation 4y = x + 2.
Now we have the equations you could rewrite to be in slope- intercept form so they're easier to graph. But a graphing calculator online would plot it just fine.
If you graph these two equations they'll intersect at the solution ( 14, 4 ). I'll include the graph in my images as well.
To check your answer, you can plug in x and y and see if the triangle sides end up being the same length. I did and it was correct.
Answer:
y= x-4
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have a point, and the slope, we can use the point slope formula
m is the slope, y1 is the y coordinate of the point and x1 is the x coordinate of the point.
We know that m is 1, y1 is 1, and x1 is 5, so we can substitute them in
y-1=1(x-5)
Solve for y by isolating it
Distribute the 1
y-1=1*x+ 1*-5
y-1=x-5
Add 1 to both sides
y=x-4
