(2.5)^2 + (16.5)^2 = c^2
c = sqrt(2.5^2 + 16.5^2)
c = sqrt(278.5)
c = 16.69
Rounded up it would be 17, so the answer is D.

Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, between the following

kupik [55]

Answer:

$y = \frac{3}{2} x + 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

In the slope-intercept form y= mx +b, m is the slope and b is the y- intercept.

$\boxed{slope = \frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2} }$

Using the formula above,

$slope = \frac{5 - ( - 4)}{2 - ( - 4)}$

$m = \frac{5 + 4}{2 + 4}$

$m = \frac{9}{6}$

$m = \frac{3}{2}$

Substitute the value of m into the equation:

$y = \frac{3}{2} x + b$

To find the value of b, substitute a pair of coordinates into the equation.

When x= 2, y= 5,

$5 = \frac{3}{2} (2) + b$

5= 3 +b

b= 5 -3

b= 2

Thus, the equation of the line is $y = \frac{3}{2} x + 2$ .

How do I find the possible values of x

g100num [7]

The 2 triangles in the big triangle are similar so we can write
3x / 3x - 2 = 5x / 3x

9x^2 = 15x^2 - 10x
6x^2 - 10x = 0
x(6x - 10) = 0
x= 0 or 5/3
