Yes they are if that helps, if you still are unsure than just mesure them and you will see

If they are similar, then every similar side on the smaller triangle can be multiplied by 4.8 to get the similar side on the big triangle.

Answer:

The required equation is: $\mathbf{f(x)=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{29}{4}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find equation from the table given

x f(x)

3 -5

7 -2

We can write equation in the form of $y=mx+b$

where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

Finding Slope

We can used the slope formula to find slope: $Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

From the table we have: $x_1=3, y_1=-5, x_2=7, y_2=-2$

Putting values and finding slope

$Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\Slope=\frac{-2-(-5)}{7-3} \\Slope=\frac{-2+5}{7-3}\\Slope=\frac{3}{4}$

So, we get slope $m=\frac{3}{4}$

Now, finding y-intercept

Using the slope $m=\frac{3}{4}$ and point (3,-5) we can find y-intercept

$y=mx+b\\-5=\frac{3}{4}(3)+b\\-5=\frac{9}{4}+b\\b=-5-\frac{9}{4}\\b=\frac{-5*4-9}{4}\\b=\frac{-20-9}{4}\\b=\frac{-29}{4}$

The y-intercept is $b=\frac{-29}{4}$

So, the equation having slope $m=\frac{3}{4}$ and y-intercept $b=\frac{-29}{4}$ will be:

$y=mx+b\\y=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{29}{4}$

The required equation is: $\mathbf{f(x)=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{29}{4}}$

3(x + 1) = -2 (x - 1) -4

AlekseyPX

Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

use distribution

3x + 3 = -2x + 2 - 4

simplify

3x + 3 = -2x - 2

combine like terms

3x + 3 = -2x - 2

-3x -3x

3 = -5x - 2

+2 +2

5 = -5x

/-5 /-5

-1 = x
