Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A is on the same point on the x-axis as B and the same point on the y-axis as D
- Therefore, the coordinate of A is (0,0)
C is on the same point on the x-axis as D and the same point on the y-axis as B.
- Therefore, the coordinate of C is (a,a)
We are to determine the slope of the line joining A to C.
170 cm. The unknown length on the left is 21 cm
To solve this I'm going to split the middle term.
First multiply the first and last terms:
24x^2
So find two numbers that multiply to 24x^2 and add to 11x.
This would be 3x and 8x
Rewrite the problem as
4x^2+3x+8x+6
Take the first and 3rd and 2nd and 4th terms
4x^2 and 8x
and
3x and 6
Factor by grouping
Take out a 4x for the first group to get 4x(x+2)
Take out a 3 for the 2nd group to get 3(x+2)
Rewrite as (4x+3)(x+2)
Hope this helps.
slope m = - 2 → B
calculate m using the ' gradient formula '
m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
choosing 2 'clear ' coordinates from the graph of the line
(x₁, y₁) = (0, 7) and (x₂, y₂) = (7, - 5
) = 
= - 2
m =
