I'm not 100% sure on this answer, but I don't think anyone else will be answering.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) First, find the slope of the line. Use the slope formula 
. Pick two points on the line and substitute their x and y values into the formula, then solve. I used the points (-5,-4) and (0,-6):
So, the slope of the line is 
.
2) Next, use the point-slope formula 
to write the equation of the line in point-slope form. (From there, we can convert it to slope-intercept form.) Substitute values for the 
, 
and 
into the formula.
Since represents the slope, substitute in its place. Since and represent the x and y values of one point on the line, pick any point on the line (any one is fine, it will equal the same thing at the end) and substitute its x and y values in those places. (I chose (0,-6), as seen below.) Then, with the resulting equation, isolate y to put the equation in slope-intercept form:
Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
In order for the triangles to be similar, corresponding side must be in proportion.
So, FE/ZY = FD/ZX
6/12 = (2x - 5)/22
6(22) = 12(2x - 5)
132 = 24x - 60
24x = 192
x = 8
