Let the equal sides of the isosceles Δ ABC be x.

Given that the perimeter of Δ ABC = 50m.

Therefore, 2x + AC = 50 --- (1)

It is also given that the perimeter of Δ ABD = 40m.

Therefore, x + BD + AD = 40

BD is the median of the Δ ABC. Therefore, D is the midpoint of AC.

So AD = CD.

Or, AD = \frac{1}{2} AC

Therefore, x + BD + \frac{1}{2} AC = 40

Multiply both sides by 2.

2x + 2BD + AC = 80

From (1), 2x + AC = 50.

Therefore, 2BD + 50 = 80

2BD = 80 - 50

2BD = 30

BD = 15m.

Will give me a 20% discount if I spend over $50 my bill is $75.What is my final bill after the savings
Andrews [41]
Hey there,
$75 is above $50
Final Bill = $75 - (20% x $75)
              = $75 - $15
              = $ 60

Hope this helps :))

Graph the following lines and write the equation in slope-intercept form. With y intercept of −3 and an x intercept of −4.5.
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

y=-\frac{2}{3}x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation of a line we need 2 points. We know:

  • If the y-intercept of the line is -3 then the point is (0,-3).
  • If the x-intercept of the line is -4.5 then the point is (-4.5,0).

Using these two point, we will find the slope and then substitute it into the point slope form y-y_1=m(x-x_1) with a point.

Slope: m=\frac{0--3}{-4.5-0}=\frac{0+3}{-4.5}=\frac{3}{-4.5}=-0.6667

This decimal is -2/3. We will now substitute -2/3 and (0,-3) into the point slope form.

y--3=-\frac{2}{3}(x-0)\\y+3=-\frac{2}{3}(x)\\y+3=-\frac{2}{3}x\\y=-\frac{2}{3}x-3
