To find an equation of a line when given the slope and a point we use the formula

$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$

From the question we have

$y + 4 = - 2(x - 2) \\ y + 4 = - 2x + 4 \\ y = - 2x + 4 - 4$

We have the final answer as

If T is the midpoint of SU find the values of x, ST and SU.

Nitella [24]

Answer: The required values are

x = 12 units, ST = 60 units and SU = 120 units.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that T is the midpoint of SU, where

ST = 5x and TU = 3x + 24.

We are to find the values of x, ST and SU.

Since T is the midpoint of SU, so we get

$ST=TU\\\\\Rightarrow 5x=3x+24\\\\\Rightarrow 5x-3x=24\\\\\Rightarrow 2x=24\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{24}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow x=12.$

So, the value of x is 12.

Therefore,

$ST=5\times12=60$

and

$SU=5x+3x+24=8x+24=8\times12+24=96+24=120.$

Thus, the required values are

x = 12 units, ST = 60 units and SU = 120 units.
