We have that
5x - 2y = 10

we know that

Part A)
the x-intercept is when y=0
then
5x - 2y = 10------> 5x=10--------> x=10/5------> x=2

the answer Part A) is
the x intercept is the point (2,0)

Part B)
the y-intercept is when x=0
then
5x - 2y = 10------> -2y=10------> y=-10/2-----> y=-5

the answer Part B) is
the y intercept is the point (0,-5)

see the attached figure

Line segment C X is an altitude in triangle ABC. Triangle A B C is shown. Angle A C B is a right angle. An altitude is drawn fro

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

i. ΔAXC ~ ΔCXB

ii. ΔBCX Is-congruent-to ΔACX

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given ΔABC, CX is the altitude of ΔABC; and also an angle bisector of <ACB.

So that:

m<AXC = m<BXC (right angle property)

m<ACX = m<BCX (congruent property)

m<ACX + m<AXC + m<CAX = $180^{o}$ (sum of angles in a triangle)

m<BCX + m<BXC + m<CBX = $180^{o}$ (sum of angles in a triangle)

Therefore, from the figure it can be deduced that;

i. ΔAXC ~ ΔCXB (Angle-Angle-Side, AAS, property)

ii. ΔBCX Is-congruent-to ΔACX (Angle-Angle-Side, AAS, property)

the perimeter of a rectangle is 60 meters. if the length of the rectangle is 14 meters. what is the width of the rectangle.,

Ray Of Light [21]

Perimeter is 2width+2length
Therefore since you already know that the perimeter is 60 and the length is 14 you can set up the equation;
60= 2w+14
with this you then need to find w so;
60=2w+14
-14 -14
46=2w
(46/2)=(2w/2)
13=w
The width is 13

Seven cakes cost £2.10 how much do 10 cakes cost

Len [333]

Ten cakes costs $2.19 (pounds, but I don't have a pounds symbol on my computer) because if you divide $2.10 by seven you get $0.3, and if you add 3×0.3 (because we have seven, and we need to add three more to get ten) we get $0.9.

0.9+2.10=2.19
