Answer: x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that line segment AC= AB + BC
we also know that AB= 3x+8 and BC= 2x-5
by substituting these, we get AC= (3x+8)+(2x-5)
AC is given as being 23, so we know that
23= (3x+8)+(2x-5)
by combining like terms, we get that
5x+3=23
simplify this to get that x=4
Answer:
You have to make sure the y= is always on the left side and so it looks like ,y=mx+b. m=slope, x=independent variable and b = y intercept.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hope it helps :)
His error is he forgot the 2 in 2 3/4
Y=ax+b, y=cx+d (a≠0, c≠0)
If the two line cross perpendicularly ⇔ ac= -1
So a tangent of the perpendicular line is "-(1/5)".
Then, the equation of the perpendicular line is y=-(1/5)x+a (a is <span> y-intercept</span>).
On the other hand, this equation pass r(1, 3), so
3 = -(1/5) times 1 + a
∴ a=16 / 5
Therefore, y=-(1/5)x+16 /5 is answer.
