Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that T is the midpoint of line PQ, segments PT = 5x + 2, and TQ = 7x - 6 that are formed would be equidistant or congruent. PT = TQ.

Therefore:

$5x + 2 = 7x - 6$

Let's find the value of x

Rearrange the equation, so that the terms having x would be on your left, while those without x would be on your right.

$5x - 7x = - 2 - 6$

$-2x = -8$

Divide both sides by -2

$x = 4$

Plug in the value of x into the expression, 5x + 2, to find PT.

PT = 5(4) + 2 = 22.

How do you write a linear equation given the slope and a point that

Serga [27]

Answer:

point slope form

Step-by-step explanation:

hi! we can use point slope form:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

where m is the slope, x1 is the x-coordinate of the given point, and y1 is the y-coordinate of the given point.

example:

slope is 4

ordered pair is (2,3)

y-3=4(x-2)

y-3=4x-8

y=4x-5

hope this helps!

part 2. Find the value of the trig function indicated, use for that Pythagorean theorem to find the third side if you need it.

andreev551 [17]

Answer: $\bold{5)\ \cos \theta=\dfrac{\sqrt{11}}{6}\qquad 6)\ \tan \theta =\dfrac{8}{17}\qquad 7)\ \cos \theta = \dfrac{4}{3}\qquad 8)\ \cos \theta = \dfrac{\sqrt{10}}{10}}$

<u>Step-by-Step Explanation:</u>

Pythagorean Theorem is: a² + b² = c² , <em>where "c" is the hypotenuse</em>

$5)\ \cos \theta=\dfrac{\text{side adjacent to}\ \theta}{\text{hypotenuse of triangle}}=\dfrac{3\sqrt{11}}{18}\quad \rightarrow \large\boxed{\dfrac{\sqrt{11}}{6}}$

Note: (15)² + (3√11)² = hypotenuse² → hypotenuse = 18

$6)\ \cos \theta=\dfrac{\text{side adjacent to}\ \theta}{\text{hypotenuse of triangle}}=\dfrac{8}{17}\quad =\large\boxed{\dfrac{8}{17}}$

Note: 8² + 15² = hypotenuse² → hypotenuse = 17

$7)\ \tan \theta=\dfrac{\text{side opposite to}\ \theta}{\text{side adjacent to}\ \theta}=\dfrac{20}{15}\quad \rightarrow \large\boxed{\dfrac{4}{3}}$

Note: hypotenuse not needed for tan

$8)\ \cos \theta=\dfrac{\text{side adjacent to}\ \theta}{\text{hypotenuse of triangle}}=\dfrac{2}{2\sqrt{10}}\quad =\large\boxed{\dfrac{\sqrt{10}}{10}}$

Note: 2² + 6² = hypotenuse² → hypotenuse = 2√10

The function y=40x describes how far from home Shu Ling is as she drives from Dallas to Miami. Graph the function. Use the graph

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

You can see the graph below.

To answer the question, you need to draw a vertical line from x = 12h up, until the line meets with the line.

Once the line meets with the line, draw a horizontal line from that point, and the value where this line intersects with the y-axis will be the distance from home after 12 hours.

The graph is kinda hard to read because the line is really steep, the green line is the equation y = 40*x

the red line is a line at x = 12

The black dashed line is the horizontal line that intersects with the y-axis.

In the graph, you can see that the dashed line intersects the y-axis at around y = 475.

Then a good estimate is that the distance after 12 hours is 475 (miles).

Now, we can compare this with the direct calculation, just replace x by 12 in the given line:

y = 40*12 = 480.

So our estimation is really accurate.
