Use the slope equation:
Plug in the points (2, 15) and (0, -1).
⇒
= 8
The slope of the line is 8.
Answer:
y = 6
x = 0.2
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + y =7
20x + 2 = y
5x(4) + y(4) = 7(4)
20x + 4y = 28
(20x = 28 - 4y) = (20x = y - 2)
28 - 4y = y - 2
30 - 4y = y
30 = 5y
y = 6
5x + y =7
20x + 2 = y
y = 7 - 5x
7 - 5x = 20x + 2
5 - 5x = 20x
5 = 25x
x = 0.2
If triangle abc is similar to def
That means all angles are the same and sides will be multiplied by some factor x. So AB(x)= DE
8x=24
Therefore x =3
Now BC=EF/x
BC=42/3
BC= 14
Answer:
C. 60 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
If triangles ABC and EDC are in a 1:1 relation, they are congruent, and
AC = EC
5x - 5 = 3x + 9
5x = 3x + 14
2x = 14
x = 7
AC = 5x + 5 = 5(7) - 5 = 35 - 5 = 30 ft
EC = 3x + 9 = 3(7) + 9 = 21 + 9 = 30 ft
Distance between top and bottom of bridge = AC + EC = 30 + 30 = 60 ft
