Answer:

The required equation is: y=-3

Option D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write equation of line that is perpendicular to y = 5 and passes through (-4,-3).

The equation of line in slope-intercept form is expressed as: y=mx+b

where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

Finding Slope:

Comparing with the given equation y=5, the slope m =0

The slope of required line will be opposite reciprocal of 0 as both lines are perpendicular. so it will be m=0

Finding y-intercept

The y-intercept can be found using slope m=0 and point (-4,-3)

y=mx+b\\-3=0(-4)+b\\b=-3

So, y-intercept b is b=-3

The equation of required line having slope m=0 and y-intercept b=-3 is

y=mx+b\\y=0(x)-3\\y=-3

So, required equation is: y=-3

Option D is correct.

Check the picture below.

notice that the triangle ADH, since the segment AL is an angle bisector, meaning  it cuts the angle A in two equal halves, then the triangle ADH is only using half of A.

What x-value makes the set of ratios equivalent? Tiles 2 : 3 = 6 : x ,4 : 7 = x : 42 , 2x : 48 = 3 : 12, 12 : 15 = x : 20
Naya [18.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

2 : 3 = 6 : x ,

Ratio can be written as

\frac{2}{3} = \frac{6}{x}

2*3 = 6, we multiply top  and bottom of fraction by 3

\frac{2*3}{3*3} = \frac{6}{9}

So value of x=9

4 : 7 = x : 42 ,

\frac{4}{7} = \frac{x}{42}

7*6 = 42, we multiply top  and bottom of fraction by 6

\frac{4*6}{7*6} = \frac{24}{42}

So value of x=24

2x : 48 = 3 : 12,

\frac{2x}{48} = \frac{3}{12}

\frac{3}{12}[/tex] = \frac{2x}{48}12*4 = 48, we multiply top  and bottom of fraction by 4[tex]\frac{3*4}{12*4} = \frac{12}{48}

2x= 12, so x= 6

12 : 15 = x : 20

\frac{12}{15} = \frac{x}{20}

15 * \frac{4}{3} = 20,

we multiply top  and bottom   by 4/3

 12 * \frac{4}{3} = 16

So value of x=16
