Answer:

x²-3x+2=0

x²-2x-x+2=0

(x²-2x)(-x+2)=0

x(x-2)-1(x-2)=0

(x-2)(x-1)=0

x-2=0 or x-1=0

x=2 or x=1

Solve, then write, each equation in slope intercept form. ​
djyliett [7]

Answer:

1) (3,5)

2) (4,-7)

3)  (6,4)

4) (-4,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

Subtract  y  from both sides of the equation.

x  =  8  −  y

x  −  y  =  −2

Replace all occurrences of x  in x  −  y  =  −2  with  8  −  y.

x  =  8  −  y

(8  −  y)  −  y  =  −2

Subtract y from  −y.

x  =  8  − y

8  −  2y  =  −2

Solve for  y  in the second equation.

x  =  8  −  y  

y  = 5

Replace all occurrences of  y  in  x  =  8  −  y  with  5.

x  =  8  −(5)

y  =  5

Simplify  8  −(5).

x  =  3

y  =  5

Slope = (3,5)

2)

Multiply each term by  2  and simplify.

2x+y=12

y+6=−x−4

Move all terms containing variables to the left side of the equation.

2x+y=1x+2

y+6=−4

Move all terms not containing a variable to the right side of the equation.

2x+y=1x+2

y=−10

Multiply each equation by the value that makes the coefficients of  x  opposite.

2x+y=1(−2)⋅

(x+2y)=(−2)(−10)

Simplify.

2x+y=1−2x−4

y=20

Add the two equations together to eliminate  x  from the system.

2x+y=1+−2x−4

y=20−3

y=21

Divide each term by  −3  and simplify.

y  = −7

Substitute the value found for  y  into one of the original equations, then solve for  x.

x  =  4

slope (4,-7)

3)

Subtract  y  from both sides of the equation.

2x−y=8x−y=2

Multiply each equation by the value that makes the coefficients of  y  opposite

2x−y=8(−1)⋅

(x−y)=(−1)(2)

Simplify. 2x−y=8

−x+y=−2

Add the two equations together to eliminate  y  from the system.

2x−y=8  +  −x+y=−2x=6

Substitute the value found for  x  into one of the original equations, then solve for  y.

y=4

slope (6,4)

4)

Simplify 2(x+1).

y−3=2x+2

y=−3(x+5)

Simplify  −3(x+5)

y−3=2x+2

y=−3x−15

Move all terms containing variables to the left side of the equation.

−2x+y−3=2

y=−3x−15

Add  3x  to both sides of the equation.

−2x+y−3=2

y+3x=−15

Move all terms not containing a variable to the right side of the equation.

−2x+y=5

y+3x=−15

Reorder the polynomial.

−2x+y=5

3x  +  y=−15

Multiply each equation by the value that makes the coefficients of  y  opposite.

−2x+y=5(−1)⋅

(3x+y)=(−1)(−15)

Simplify.

−2x+y=5

−3x−y=15

Add the two equations together to eliminate  y  from the system.

−2x+y=5  +  −3x−y=15−5x=20

Divide each term by  −5  and simplify.

x=−4

Substitute the value found for  x  into one of the original equations, then solve for y.

y=−3

slope (-4,-3)

Two figures are shown. EFJL is dialation of ABIK AB has a length of 12 and EF has a length of 3
Dimas [21]

The scale factor of dilation from AB to EF is 0.25

<h3>How to determine the scale factor of dilation?</h3>

The given parameters are:

  • EFJL is dilation of ABIK
  • AB has a length of 12
  • EF has a length of 3

From the above parameters, side lengths AB and EF are corresponding sides

This means that:

The scale factor of dilation (k) is

k = AB/EF

So, we have

k = 3/12

Evaluate

k = 0.25

Hence, the scale factor of dilation from AB to EF is 0.25

A rectangle is inscribed in a right isosceles triangle, such that two of its vertices lie on the hypotenuse, and two other on th
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Part 1) The base is 25\ in  and the height is 10\ in

Part 2) The base is 7.5\ in  and the height is 18.75\ in

Step-by-step explanation:

case 1) Right isosceles triangle of the left

Let

x------> the base of the rectangle

y----> the height of the rectangle

Remember that

In a right isosceles triangle the lengths of the legs of the triangle is the same

y+x+y=45

2y+x=45 ----> equation A

\frac{x}{y} =\frac{5}{2}

x=2.5y -----> equation B

substitute equation B in the equation A

2y+2.5y=45

4.5y=45

y=10\ in

Find the value of x

x=2.5(10)=25\ in

case 2) Right isosceles triangle of the right

Let

x------> the base of the rectangle

y----> the height of the rectangle

Remember that

In a right isosceles triangle the lengths of the legs of the triangle is the same

y+x+y=45

2y+x=45 ----> equation A

\frac{y}{x} =\frac{5}{2}

y=2.5x -----> equation B

substitute equation B in the equation A

2(2.5x)+x=45

6x=45

x=7.5\ in

Find the value of y

y=2.5(7.5)=18.75\ in
