Given:
A bisector is a line or point that divides a line in half. So point M is in the middle of the entire line ST.
The bisector would be the line MW
This means line MT is half of the enitre line ST so then the entire line is 19*2.
Answer:
ST = 38
Bisector is line MW
Okay, let's see...
The problem is asking for a linear equation most likely in the form of y=mx+b
y is another way to say f(x)
<em>m = slope </em>
<em>b = y intercept </em>
Let's start with the y intercept first.
Y intercept means ' When does the line touch (intercept) the y axis.
In this case, if you look at the graph, the line <em>touches </em>the y axis at -1.
-1 will replaces b
To find the slope we are going to take 2 precise points from the graph.
Lets use <em>(0,-1)</em> and <em>(-6,4) </em>
To find the slope, we're going to use
4 - (-1) / -6 - 0
Solve, our slope is 5/-6
That is our m
Our final equation is
