Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the polygons are similar, the ratios of their respective sides are equal.

32/24=(x-1)/6

x-1=8

x=9

What the y-intercept of (8,0) and (3,7)

Anettt [7]

Answer:

$\sf \bf y - intercept = \dfrac{56}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Y-intercept:

(8,0) ; x₁ = 8 & y₁ = 0

(3,7) ; x₂= 3 & y₂ = 7

First find the slope of the line.

$\sf \boxed{\bf Slope =\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}$

$\sf = \dfrac{7 - 0}{3 - 8}\\\\ =\dfrac{7}{-5}\\\\=\dfrac{-7}{5}$

slope y-intercept form of the line: y = mx + b

Substitute the slope and x and y in the above equation. We can choose anyone of the given points.

$0 = \dfrac{-7}{5}*8 + b\\\\0=\dfrac{-56}{5}+b\\\\\dfrac{56}{5}=b\\\\ \boxed{\bf b = \dfrac{56}{5}}$

Find an equation for the line with the given properties. Perpendicular to the line x - 6y = 8; containing the point (4,4) O 1) y

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Option 3 - $y=-6x+28$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Perpendicular to the line $x - 6y = 8$ ; containing the point (4,4).

To Find : An equation for the line with the given properties ?

Solution :

We know that,

When two lines are perpendicular then slope of one equation is negative reciprocal of another equation.

Slope of the equation $x - 6y = 8$

Converting into slope form $y=mx+c$ ,

Where m is the slope.

$y=\frac{x-8}{6}$

$y=\frac{x}{6}-\frac{8}{6}$

The slope of the equation is $m=\frac{1}{6}$

The slope of the perpendicular equation is $m_1=-\frac{1}{m}$

The required slope is $m_1=-\frac{1}{\frac{1}{6}}$

$m_1=-6$

The required equation is $y=-6x+c$

Substitute point (x,y)=(4,4)

$4=-6(4)+c$

$4=-24+c$

$c=28$

Substitute back in equation,

$y=-6x+28$

Therefore, The required equation for the line is $y=-6x+28$

So, Option 3 is correct.
