Answer:

y-3 = -7/8(x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line given two points is given by

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (3 - -4)/(-1 -7)

= (3+4) / (-1-7)

= 7/ -8

= -7/8

The point slope form of a line is

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y - 3 = -7/8( x - -1)

y-3 = -7/8(x+1)

First, lets find the slope.

Slope Formula: y2-y1/x2-x1

= 3-(-4)/-1-7

= 7/-8

= -7/8

Point slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)

We can use one point to substitute y1 and x1 with. We can also substitute m with the slope. Lets use the point (7,-4) and the slope of -7/8 to solve.

y - (-4) = -7/8(x - 7)

y + 4 = -7/8(x - 7)

Best of Luck!

Seth is using the figure shown below to prove Pythagorean Theorem using triangle similarity. In the given triangle ABC, angle A

lana66690 [7]

The relationship between the lengths of the sides of a right triangle are

given by Pythagoras theorem.

Part A: ΔABC is similar to ΔADC

Part B: ΔABC and ΔADC are similar according AA similarity postulate

Part C: DA = 6

Reasons:

Part A:

∠A = 90°

Segment AD ⊥ Segment BC

Location of point D = Side BC

Part A: In triangle ΔABC, we have;

∠A = 90°, ∠B = 90° - ∠C

In triangle ΔADC, we have;

∠ADC = 90°, ∠DAC = 90° - ∠C

∴ ΔABC is similar to ΔADC by Angle-Angle, AA, Similarity Postulate

Part B: The triangles are similar according to AA similarity postulate,

because two angles in one triangle are equal to two angles in the other

triangle and therefore, by subtraction property of equality, the third angle

in both triangles are also equal.

Part C: The length of DB = 9

The length of DC = 4

Required: Length of segment DA

In triangle ΔABD, we have;

∠BDA = 90°= ∠ADC

∠DAC ≅ ∠B by Congruent Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent

Therefore;

ΔABD ~ ΔADC by AA similarity, which gives;

$\displaystyle \frac{\overline{DA}}{\overline{DC}} = \frac{\overline{BD}}{\overline{DA}}$

$\overline{DA}^2$ = $\overline{DC} \times \overline{BD}$

Which gives;

$\overline{DA}^2$ = 4 × 9 = 36

$\overline{DA}$ = √(36) = 6

$\overline{DA}$ = 6

What is the difference between Compound Interest and simple interest???

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

Simple interest is calculated using initial principle while compound interest is calculated considering the interest also .

Step-by-step explanation:

Interest is the cost of borrowing money, where the borrower pays a fee to the lender for using his money. The interest, typically expressed as a percentage, can either be compounded or simple .

Simple interest is based on the principal amount , while compound interest is based on the principal amount and the interest that adds onto it in every period and the final principle is used for calculating the interest.

Simple interest is calculated on the principal amount of a loan and it's easier to find out than compound interest.
