Answer:

In the equation of a straight line (when the equation is written as "y = mx + b"), the slope is the number "m" that is multiplied on the x, and "b" is the y-intercept (that is, the point where the line crosses the vertical y-axis). This useful form of the line equation is sensibly named the "slope-intercept form".

If tu=18 and u=11 what is tv
yuradex [85]

If the point U is between points T and V, then the numerical length of TV is 29 units

<h3>How to determine the numerical length of segment TV?</h3>

From the question, we have the following lengths that can be used in our computation:

  • Length TU = 18 units
  • Length UV = 11 units

The above parameters and representations implies that the point U is between endpoints T and V

This also means that the length TV is longer than the other lengths TU and TV

So, we have the following length equation

TV = TU + UV

Substitute the known values in the above equation

So, we have the following equation

TV = 18 + 11

Evaluate the sum of the like terms in the above equation

So, we have the following equation

TV = 29

Hence, the numerical length of segment TV is 29 units

The hypotenuse of the right triangle is 5y inches long. The lengths of the legs are x + 8 and x + 3 inches. If the perimeter of
Zolol [24]

Answer: 35 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

hypotenuse = 5*y in

cathetus 1 = (x + 8) in

cathetus 2 = (x + 3) in

The perimeter of the triangle is 76 inches, then:

5*y + (x + 8) + (x + 3) = 76

5*y + 2*x + 13 = 76

We also know that the length of the hypotenuse minus the length of the shorter leg is 17 in.

The shorter leg is x + 3, then:

5*y - (x + 3) = 17

Then we have the equations:

5*y + 2*x + 11 = 76

5*y - (x + 3) = 17

With only these two we can solve the system, first we need to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations, i will isolate x in the second equation.

x = 5*y  - 3 - 17 = 5*y - 20

x = 5*y - 20

Now we can replace this in the other equation, we get:

5*y + 2*x + 11 = 76

5*y + 2*(5*y - 20) + 11 = 76

15*y - 40 + 13 = 76

15*y - 29 = 76

15*y = 76 + 29 = 105

and remember that the hypotenuse is equal to 5*y, then we want to get:

3*(5*y) = 105

5*y = 105/3 = 35

5*y = 35

Then te length of the hypotenuse is 35 inches.
