×<_ 24 is the answer I believe.
Let's restate your first sentence: the length of AB is 15 cm.
For dilation, we would have to multiply 15 by 0.4 and that would lead us to our answer: 6 cm. Hope this helps!
Use PEMDAS. Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiply, Divide, Addition, Subtraction.
So, you'd distribute 5 into the parenthesis, leaving you with 9+20x+20, then add like terms. 20x+29
These are not the exact numbers but just plug in the numbers of yours Because we know that q is a perpendicular line to p we know that its slope is the negative reciprocal of the slope of p. So its slope is 7/10. Now we just need to find its y-intercept. To do that we write what we know about line q. So we know that the equation for line q looks like:
y = (7/10)x + b
We also know that q passes through the point (8,7), so we now plug that in and solve for b:
7 = (7/10)(8) + b
7 - (56/10) = b
(70/10) - (56/10) = b
14/10 = 7/5 = b
So now that we have solved for the y-intercept, we know that the equation for line q is:
y = (7/10)x + 7/5
