Answer:

y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Triangles GHI and JKL

<em>See attachment for illustration</em>

Required

Find the value of y

We have:

GH = 4

GI = 6

JK = 8

JL = y

Sides GH and JK are similar

Sides GI and KL are also similar

Since both triangles are similar, then the ratio of similar sides must be equal.

Ratio = GH : JK

Ratio = GI : JL

Equate both ratios

GH:JK = GI:JL

Substitute values for GH, GI, JK and JL

4 : 8 = 6 : y

Convert to fractions

\frac{4}{8} = \frac{6}{y}

\frac{1}{2} = \frac{6}{y}

Cross Multiply

1 * y = 6 * 2

y = 12

Answer:

y = 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

I just took the test and got it right. This is because 8 is twice the size as 4, so it can be determined that all you need to do is multiply 6 by 2. I hope this helps!

Find the equation of a line with m = 3 that passes though the point (-12,<br> 4).
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

y = 3x + 40

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = 3 , then

y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 12, 4 ) into the partial equation

4 = - 36 + c ⇒ c = 4 + 36 = 40

y = 3x + 40 ← equation of line
