Pentagons STUVW and XYZAB are similar with XY = 32 , YZ = 36 , ST = 4c + 2 and TU = 5c + 2 What is the length of TU

Answer:

TU = 4.5units

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the pentagons are similar, hence the ratios of their similar sides will be equal to a constant.

Hence;

XY/ST = YZ/TU

Given the following

XY = 32

YZ = 36

ST = 4c + 2

TU = 5c + 2

Substitute into the expression as shown;

32/4c+2 = 36/5c+2

Cross multiply

36(4c+2) = 32(5c+2)

144c + 72 = 160c + 64

144c - 160c = 64 - 72

-16c = -8

c = -8/-16

c = 1/2

Recall that TU = 5c + 2

TU =5(1/2) + 2

TU = 2.5 + 2

TU = 4.5

Hence the length of TU is 4.5units

If a line crosses the y-axis at (0,1) and has a slope of 4/5, what is the equation of the line ?
stepladder [879]
The slope intercept form of a line is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0).  We are given that the slope is 4/5 and the point (0,1) so we know m=4/5 and b=1 so:

y=4x/5+1  now to rearrange into standard form ax+by=c

y=(4x+5)/5

5y=4x+5

5y-4x=5

So the answer is D.

However, by convention, in standard form, the equation is usually expressed with a positive coefficient for x.

5y-4x=5 SHOULD be expresses so the x has a positive coefficient, divide both sides by -1 and you have the technically correct form:

4x-5y=-5

Apparently whomever/whatever posed this question to you was unaware of this convention :P

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-4,-4) and (-4,9)? Write answer in simplest form and explain how y
Ira Lisetskai [31]
There is no slope, it’s undefined. you get this by doing 9-(-4)/-4-(-4). this comes out to 13/0, and anything over zero is undefined. hope this helped
