Answer:
a. x = 7
b. x = 36/5
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Points to remember</u>
The ratio of of corresponding sides of similar triangles are equal.
<u>a). To find the value of x</u>
From the figure 1 we get two similar triangles, ΔABC and ADE
We can write,
AB/AD = AC/AE
3/6 = x/(x + 7)
3(x + 7) = 6 * x
3x + 21 = 6x
6x - 3x = 21
3x = 21
x = 21/3 = 7
<u>b). To find the value of x</u>
From the figure b we get
ΔABC ~ ΔEDF
AB/DE = BC/DF
4/5 = x/9
x = (4 * 9)/5 = 36/5
Answer: The answer is (1)
Step-by-step explanation: ( 1 + 1 ) = 2
2 ÷ 2 = 1

Answer:
-1/3 or -2/6
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you pick two points, I did (-5,10) and (1,8). Then, because slope is y(2)-y(1)/ x(2)-x(1), the equation would be 8-10/1-(-5) which equals -2/6 which simplifies into -1/3.
(hope this helps!)
