Answer:

6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The segment addition postulate states that if we are given two points on a line segment, E and G, a third point F lies on the line segment EG if and only if the distances between the points meet the requirements of the equation

EF + FG = EG (*)

In your case,

EF = 2x-2 units,

FG = 5x+1 units,

EG = 5x+7 units.

Substitute it into the equality (*)

Now, the length EF is equal to

Which equation represents a line that has a slope of 3/4 and passes through the point (2,1)?

ValentinkaMS [17]

The general equation of a line is:
$\frac{y- y_{1}}{x- x_{1}} =m$
When m is the gradient and x1 and y1 are the coordinates of the points on the line
Therefore:
$\frac{y-1}{x-2}=3/4$
$4y-4=3x-6$
$4y=3x-2$
