Answer:
x=28
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use similar triangles and proportions to solve this problem. Put the side of the small triangle over the same side of the larger triangle.
x 42
---------- = ----------
x+10 42+15
Simplify
x 42
---------- = ----------
x+10 57
Using cross products
57x = 42 (x+10)
Distribute
57x = 42x+420
Subtract 42x from each side
57x-42x = 42x-42x +420
15x = 420
Divide each side by 15
15x/15 = 420/15
x=28
Find the x and y intercepts or any other 2 points. (I advise you finding the y intercept though.)
then calculate for slope using:
y(2) - y(1)
________
x(2) - x(1)
The (2) and (1) are not exponents they are small numbers at the bottom of the numbers.
The slope is: 4
