Find the measure of NP on the triangle

Answer:

NP = 1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar, we can use ratios to solve

5                      8

------------ = ----------------

5+NP            8+2

5                      8

------------ = ----------------

5+NP            10

Using cross products

5*10 = 8(5+NP)

Distribute

50 = 40+8NP

Subtract 40 from each side

50-40 = 8NP

10 = 8NP

Divide by 8

10/8 = NP

1.25 = MP

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let NP be x

MR/MQ = MP/MN

(8+2)/8 = (5+x)/5

10/8 × 5 = 5 + x

5 + x = 6.25

x = 1.25

Please help me solve this, also the cut off part just says dont use spaces in your answers
Alisiya [41]

the equation of the line is

y = -3x + 6

slope is m = -3

as we know that for parallel lines, the slope is always equal.

so the slope of the new line is also m = -3

it is also passing through (-4,9)

so the equation of the line i s

y-9=m(x-(-4))

m= -3

y-9=-3(x+4)_{}

\begin{gathered} y-9=-3x-12 \\ y=-3x-12+9 \\ y=-3x-3 \end{gathered}

so the answer is y = -3x - 3
