Answer:

Base of the original triangle is 12 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let base of triangle be x  

two equal legs  of triangles by y

therefore perimeter of triangle

                       x+y+y = 50 or x+2y =50

according to the question

 if base is x+3 and leg is y-4

then both are equal

   that is x+3 = y-4

            y-x = 7 or y =x+7

   x+2y =50

   x+2(x+7) = 50

    x+2x +14 =50

     3x +14 =50

     3x = 50 -14

      3x = 36

      x = 12

therefore base of the original  triangle is 12 cm

HELP! will mark BRAINILEST !

I like A as the best one

420 = 100*price - (fixed costs)
220 = 60*price - (fixed costs)

If we subtract one from the other one, we get 200 = 40*price, price = 5
that said, fixed costs are 500 - 420 = 80

Now if we move -220 to the right in Answer A, we'll get:

y = 5x -300 + 220 = 5x - 80

So it looks like A describes the model best

What is the slope of (-4,6) and (2,-5)
Dominik [7]

Answer:

-11/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope can be found with this equation:

(y₁ - y₂) / (x₁ - x₂)

What this essentially tells us to do is to put one set of the x and y coordinates into x₁ and y₁, respectfully. Then, put the other set of x and y points as x₂ and y₂.

With this scenerio, we can substitute the given points into the formula.

(6 - (-5)) / (-4 - 2) =

(6 + 5 ) / (-6) =

11 / (-6) =

-11/6

The slope is  - 11/6
