Proportions in similar triangles

Mathematics
1 answer:
Svetradugi [14.3K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that DE is parallel to AC then DE divides the sides proportionally, so

\frac{BD}{DA} = \frac{BE}{EC} , substitute values

\frac{x+2}{x} = \frac{3}{2} ( cross- multiply )

3x = 2(x + 2) ← distribute

3x = 2x + 4 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

x = 4

(3,7)(2,6) Find the equation for the line that falls through the two ordered pairs
Alexxandr [17]

Answer: The equation for the two given points is y=x+b


Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. First find the slope: 6-7/2-3 = -1/-1=1. The slope is just 1, or x. So for now, the equation is y=x+b

Step 2. We must find the y-intercept, or B. We can plug in any points to find b. Let's use (2, 6) (but you can use (3, 7) too, it doesn't matter) Plug 2 in for x, since 2 represents x, and then do the same for y. ---> 6=2+b.

Step 3. Simplify. 6=2+b. 6-2=2-2+b ---> b=4. Subtract both sides by 2 to get B.

The equation for the two given points is y=x+b

Hope this helps.
