Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
It is assumed PQS and RQS are similar triangles.
<u>The ratio of corresponding sides is equal:</u>
<u>Substitute side lengths and solve for x:</u>
- 15/(3x - 4) = 21/(5x - 16)
- 15(5x - 16) = 21(3x - 4)
- 5(5x - 16) = 7(3x - 4)
- 25x - 80 = 21x - 28
- 25x - 21x = 80 - 28
- 4x = 52
- x = 52/4
- x = 13
1 / 2 for 1 (.5).
1 / 4 for 2 (.25).
And
1 / 8 for 3 (.125j.
3/4 is the slope!! good luck!!
