Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

The line L has the following equation:

● 2x - 3y = 5

Add -2x to both sides

● 2x - 3y -2x = 5 - 2x

● -3y = 5 - 2x

Multiply both sides by -1

● (-1) × -3y = (-1) × (5-2x)

● 3y = 2x - 5

Divide both sides by 3

● 3y/3 = (2x - 5)/3

● y = (2/3)x - 5/3

The line M is perpendicular to L

So the product of their slopes is -1

Let m be the slope of M

● m × (2/3) = -1

● m = -1 × (3/2)

● m = -3/2

So the equation of M is:

● y = (-3/2)x + b

b is the y-intercept

M passes through (2, -10)

Replace by the coordinates of this point

● -10 = (-3/2)×2 + b

● -10 = -3 + b

● b = -10 + 3

● b = -7

The equation of M is

● y = (-3/2)x -7

What is the value of x given that figure ADCB
aleksley [76]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the trapezoid is isosceles, the two diagonals are congruent. This can be shown by ASA.

ACD = BDC          Properties of parallel lines.

DC = DC               A line is equal to itself

DBA = CAB           Property of parallel lines.

AC = DB                Parts of Congruent triangles are congruent

3x + 15 = 7x - 9     Add 9 to both sides

3x + 15 + 9 = 7x

3x + 24 = 7x          Subtract 3x from both sides.

24 = 7x - 3x

24 = 4x                  Divide by 4

24/4 = 4x/4

x = 6

Quadrilateral RSTU is a rectangle with diagonal RT. If rtu 8x + 4 and str = 3x – 2, find x
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If Quadrilateral RSTU is a rectangle

then

The measure of angle STU is a right angle

m∠STU=90°

m∠STU=m∠STR+m∠RTU

so

m∠STR+m∠RTU=90° -----> complementary angles

substitute the given values

(3x-2)+(8x+4)=90°

Solve for x

11x+2=90

11x=90-2

11x=88

x=8
