Answer:
x = 12.
Step-by-step explanation:
If P(5,4),Q(8,10) and R(x,18) are collinear
then the slope of PQ equals the slope of QR
hence:
(10 - 4)/(8 - 5) = (18 - 10)/(x - 8)
6/3= 8/(x - 8)
2 = 8/(x - 8)
multiplying both sides by (x - 8) gives:
2(x - 8) = 8
2x - 16 = 8
2x = 8 + 16 = 24
hence x = 12

<u>Answer</u>
y = (1/2)x - 1
<u>Explanation</u>
The first step is to get the gradient of the line.
The two points in the line are; (2,0) and (-2, -2).
Gradient = (-2 - 0)/(-2, - 2)
= -2/-4
= 1/2
To get the function we use one of the point (2,0) and a general point (x,y).
1/2 = (y - 0)/(x - 2)
1/2 = y/(x - 2)
(x - 2) = 2y
2y = x - 2
y = (1/2)x - 1
When solving an equation with an absolute value term, you make two separate equations ans solve for x:
Equation 1: |4x-3|-5 = 4
1st add 5 to both sides:
|4x-3| = 9
Remove the absolute value term and make two equations:
4x-3 = 9 and 4x - 3 = -9
Solving for x you get X = 3 and x = -1.5
When you replace x with those values in the original equation the statement is true so those are two solutions.
Do the same thing for equation 2:
|2x+3| +8 = 3
Subtract 8 from both sides:
|2x+3| = -5
Remove the absolute value term and make two equations:
2x +3 = -5
2x+3 = 5
Solving for x you get -1 and 4, but when you replace x in the original equation with those values, the statement is false, so there are no solutions.
The answer is:
C. The solutions to equation 1 are x = 3, −1.5, and equation 2 has no solution.
