DE + EF = 4x+2

DE = x+7

EF = 7

Substitute these in

x + 7 + 7 = 4x + 2

x + 14 = 4x + 2

subtract x from both sides

14 = 3x + 2

subtract 2 from both sides

3x = 12

divide both sides by 3

x = 4

substitute this in to find the length of DE

DE = x + 7

(4) + 7 = 11

the answer is 11

From figure we can see that:

DE=DF -EF

x+7 = 4x+2-7

combining like terms

x+7=4x-5

subtract x on the right side from 4x

7=(4x-x) -5

7=3x-5

add 5 on the left side

7+5=3x

12=3x

divide both sides by 3

x=4

DE=x+7 =4+7

DE=11

Write, in slope intercept form, the equation of the line that passes through (8, -9) and has a slope of -5/4.

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

The equation in the slope-intercept form will be:

$y=-\frac{5}{4}x+1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

slope = m = -5/4

point = (8, -9)

As we know that the equation of a line in point-slope form is

$y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)$

substituting the values m = -5/4 and point = (8, -9)

$y-\left(-9\right)=\frac{-5}{4}\left(x-8\right)$

$y+9=\frac{-5}{4}\left(x-8\right)$

Writing the equation in slope-intercept form

$y=mx+b$

where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept

so the equation of the line in slope-intercept form becomes

$y+9=\frac{-5}{4}\left(x-8\right)$

subtract 9 from both sides

$y+9-9=\frac{-5}{4}\left(x-8\right)-9$

$y=-\frac{5}{4}x+1$

Therefore, the equation in the slope-intercept form will be:

$y=-\frac{5}{4}x+1$
