Answer:

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint B of segment AC creates both equal segments AB and BC. The midpoint halves out AC therefore AB=BC

The equation would look like 2x-5=x+7 where you want to isolate x fully. First you want to add 5 on both sides of the equation so that you get 2x=x+12. Next subtract x from both sides of the equation to then get x=12.

Through (5,5) parallel to 5x-5
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

y=5x-20

Step-by-step explanation:

For the equation y=5x-5, the slope is 5 and the slope of the new line will be 5 because parallel lines have the same slope. Use the point-slope form to write the equation, then simplify and convert into the slope intercept form.

(y-5)=5(x-5)

y-5=5x-25

y=5x-20

What is the y-intercept of the line?
Amanda [17]

Answer:

The equation of any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as: y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept of this line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis.
