Find the slope of the line passing throught the points (2, 2) and (4, 3).

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Substitute:

m=\dfrac{3-2}{4-2}=\dfrac{1}{2}

If the point (x, -1) lie on the same line, then the slope of line passing through the points (2, 2) and (x, -1) the same:

Substitute:

m=\dfrac{-1-2}{x-2}=\dfrac{-3}{x-2}

We have the equation:

\dfrac{-3}{x-2}=\dfrac{1}{2}        <em>cross multiply</em>

(1)(x-2)=(-3)(2)

x-2=-6           <em>add 2 to both sides</em>

x=-4

<h3>Answer: x = -4.</h3>

Find the length of the missing side
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

x = 9.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean Theroem to find the lenght of x

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

6^2 + 7^2 = x^2

36 + 49 = x^2

85 = x^2

then find the square root of 85 which is 9.2

How do I solve this ​<br>plz help
svet-max [94.6K]

Well it depends. If your radical is wrapped around the entire expression, then your answer would be 3xy²z²√10xz, but if your radical is ONLY wrapped around 90, then your answer would be 3√10x³y⁴z⁵ [radical wrapped ONLY around 10]. So, with the way this is written, although it is simple to figure this out, it is difficult to find the answer you are looking for.
