What is the value of x?
1 answer:
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
ΔTRQ is an isosceles right triangle, so if we find the value of RT then the value of 'x' will be the same
We can find RT by creating a proportion based on the ratio of sides in a 30-60-90° triangle which, respectively, is 1 : : 2
2/RT =
/2
cross-multiply:
· RT = 4
RT = 4
Therefore, x = 4

ANSWER: y= 3x - 6
STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:
(1,-3) and (3,3)
X1=1 X2=3
Y1= - 3 Y2=3
1) Find the slope of the line.
To find the slope of the line passing through these two points we need to use the slope formula:
m =
m= m=
= 3
2)Use the slope to find the y-intercept.
Now that we know the slope of the line is 3 we can plug the slope into the equation and we get:
y= 3x+b
Next choose one of the two point to plug in for the values of x and y. It does not matter which one of the two points you choose because you should get the same answer in either case. I generally just choose the first point listed so I don’t have to worry about which one I should choose.
y= 3x+b point (1,-3)
-3= 3(1) + b
-3-3=b
-6=b
3)Write the answer.
Using the slope of 3 and the y-intercept of -6 the answer is:
y = 3x - 6
