Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the slope:

7 -3/ 1 + 1 = 4/2 = 2 = m

2. Find b by plugging in the m and one of the points given into y = mx + b

7 = 2 ( 1 ) + b

7 = 2 + b

5 = b

3. Write the equation using the m and the b you just found

y =2 x + 5

7. Write the following proportion: 8 is to 64 as 2 is to X

Paul [167]

2 is to 4 because 64/8 is 8. 4/2 is 2. 2 x 2 is in proportion to 8 x 8

X(x+3) + 34 = (x +5)(x+2)

My name is Ann [436]

X(x + 3) + 34 = (x + 5)(x + 2)

First, expand to remove parentheses.
$x^{2} + 3x + 34 = x^{2} + 2x + 5x + 10$
Second, add '2x + 5x' to get '7x'.
$x^{2} + 3x + 34 = x^{2} + 7x + 10$
Third, cancel out ' $x^{2}$ ' on both sides.
$3x + 34 = 7x + 10$
Fourth, subtract '3x' from both sides.
$34 = 7x + 10 - 3x$
Fifth, subtract '7x - 3x' to get '4x'.
$34 = 4x + 10$
Sixth, subtract '10' from both sides.
$34 - 10 = 4x$
Seventh, subtract '34 - 10' to get '24'.
$24 = 4x$
Eighth, divide both sides by '4', leaving the 'x' by itself.
$\frac{24}{4} =x$
Ninth, since '24 ÷ 4 = 6', simplify the fraction to '6'.
$6 = x$
Tenth, switch your sides to get the answer.
$x = 6$

Answer: x = 6

Is the following shape a rectangle? how do you know?

Usimov [2.4K]

Slope of AB = 1/3 and slope of BC = -3 so these 2 lines are perpendicular
The same is true for all the other adjjacent pairs of lines.
Oppoitse lines are also paralllel ( slope of AB = 1/3 and slope of DC = 1/3) and other pair are both of slope -3.

Solve the equation for y 2x+6y=13

m_a_m_a [10]

I hope this helps you

6y=13-2x

y=13-2x/6

y=13/6-1/3x
