Step-by-step explanation:
because VW || YZ, the 2 triangles are similar.
this is given by the rules of equal angles of intersecting lines with parallel lines. Z to V and Y to W would be such intersecting lines.
and therefore, the angle at W is the angle at Y, the angle at V is the angle at Z. and therefore both angles at A are equal.
so, for similar triangles the scaling factor between corresponding pairs of sides is the same for all sides.
e.g. the same scaling factor that converts 7.2 to 12, converts then also x to x+4.
7.2 × f = 12
f = 12/7.2 = 12/ 72/10 = 120/72 = 10/6 = 5/3
x × 5/3 = x + 4
5x = 3x + 12
2x = 12
x = 6
A to Y = x = 6
W to A = x + 4 = 6 + 4 = 10
Answer:
D). irrational numbers
Step-by-step explanation:
The irrational numbers are the set of number which can NOT be written as a ratio (fraction). Decimals which never end nor repeat are irrational numbers. Irrational numbers are "not closed" under addition, subtraction, multiplication or division.
Answer:
52
you take 5 ÷ it by 7 the ×it by 595
You multiply each point by 1/2 or 0.5 so if you have point A which is at (15,-3) it would become (7.5,-1.5) and you graph it there
Step-by-step explanation:
the general line equation format is
y = ax + b
a is the slope or gradient of the line. it is the ratio of "y coordinate change / x coordinate change".
b is the y-intercept, the y value when x = 0. we get this by putting one point into the equation and solve for b.
(i)
A (3, 5)
B (5, 9)
x changes by +2 (from 3 to 5).
y changes by +4 (from 5 to 9).
so, the slope (or gradient) is +4/+2 = 2
(ii)
the semi-finished equation is
y = 2x + b
let's use A to get b :
5 = 2×3 + b = 6 + b
b = -1
and the full equation is
y = 2x - 1
(iii)
for point (4, k) we get
k = 2×4 - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7
