Just by looking at it, 2 seems to be the correct answer. I mean if you think about it, when the triangle is split in two smaller triangles, side LN is longer than LP so that means x needs to be a small number. I could either be 2 or 1. Well if you look at the big picture, side LM is longer than LN so it’s gonna need to be bigger. If you say x=1 then you are saying 2(1) +4 = 6 (therefore LM is 6) but if you say x=2 then you are saying 2(2) +4 = 8 which makes more sense


If x=2 then you can use the Pythagorean’s theorem

a2 + b2 = c2
4^2 + b^2 = 5^2
16 + b^2 = 25
25-16= 9
b^2= 9
b= 3


Now that we know what NP is we can do Pythagorean’s theorem to figure out what side LP is (we already know it but you can do it again to check lol)

So the answer is 2

Answer:

Choices 1 and 4 are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We first need to find what the slope of the line is. That way, we can find out which possible answers are perpendicular to it:

\frac{4-(-2)}{3-1}=\frac{6}{2}=3

Since we now have the slope, we need the negative reciprocal of it. Remember: if x is the slope, it's negative reciprocal will be -\frac{1}{x}. Therefore, if the line's slope is 3, then we need to find answers with a slope of-\frac{1}{3}.

The first answer is correct, as you have marked. The second answer, while written a little weirdly, does show the slope as 3, which we know as wrong. The third choice is not correct, however. This equation is written in point-slope form, wherey-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1}). The only variable we have to worry about is m, which, in the third choice, is 3. The fourth answer is correct, which sounds weird at first. Let's put that equation into slope-intercept form:

x+3y=9\\3y=9-x\\y=3-\frac{1}{3}x\\y=-\frac{1}{3}x+3

Equations like these can be real sneaky, so it's important not to jump to conclusions with them.
