Answer:

The length of DF is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the two lines are equal, which is given by the markings on the triangle, then you can set the two lengths equal and find x.

7x - 13 = 3x + 3

4x - 13 = 3

4x = 16

x = 4

Now that we know x = 4, we can plug into the DF length to find its amount.

DF = 7x - 13

DF = 7(4) - 13

DF = 28 - 13

DF = 15

Well Your answer is 32 beacuse if lois has 5 pennies and saves 2 and joe start with 4 pennies and saves 6. well what i do first is 2 over 5 and then i do 4 over 6 and then i multiply 5 and 6 and then it 30 and that goes on the bottom and then i multiply 2×6 =12 and then i multiply 4×5=20 so i add both answer and it get me 30 that your answer

Show that line passing through points (3,-2) and (-4,-2) is a horizontal line

Ierofanga [76]

Step-by-step explanation:

horizontal lines will have a gradient(m) of 0

so if m=0 , the line is horizontal

formula to find m:

m=y2-y1 / x2-x1

insert coordinates into formula

$m = \frac{ - 2 - ( - 2)}{ - 4 - 3} \\ \\ m = \frac{ - 2 + 2}{ - 7} \\ m = \frac{0}{ - 7} \\ m = 0$
