Answer:
x=28
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use similar triangles and proportions to solve this problem. Put the side of the small triangle over the same side of the larger triangle.
x 42
---------- = ----------
x+10 42+15
Simplify
x 42
---------- = ----------
x+10 57
Using cross products
57x = 42 (x+10)
Distribute
57x = 42x+420
Subtract 42x from each side
57x-42x = 42x-42x +420
15x = 420
Divide each side by 15
15x/15 = 420/15
x=28
First we need to find the gradient of K
which is y1-y2/x1-x2
(-1,3) and (5,-2)
so it becomes 3-(-2)/-1-5
m=-5/6
when two lines are perpendicular their gradients multiply to make -1
that means the gradient of L has to be 6/5
we can substitute the point on L (5,-2) and the gradient of 6/5 into y=mx+c
-2 = (6/5) x 5 + c
c = -8
the equation of line L is y= 6x/5 -8
