Answer:
JK = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Δ BKJ and Δ BCA are similar triangles and ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
=
, substitute values
=
( cross- multiply )
5JK = 120 ( divide both sides by 5 )
JK = 24
Answer:
1) 5 2) 6 3) 1.25 or -1.75
Step-by-step explanation:
1. x^2 - 25 = 0
x^2 - 25 = 0
First, add 25 to both sides!
x^2 = 25
Now square root both sides.
x = 5
2. (x-2)^2 = 16
First, square root both sides.
(x-2) = 4
Add 2 on both sides.
(x) = 6
x = 6
3. Quadratic Formula = -b ±
/ 2a
Substitute in:
-6 ±
/ 2(2)
-6±
/ 4
Both forms:
-6 +
/ 4
5 / 4 = 1.25
Negative:
-6 - 1 / 4
-7 / 4 = -1.75
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The variable w is equivalent to y, and the variable z is equivalent to x.


Put the other line in point slope form...(solve for y :D )
3y=15x+9
y=5x+3, so this line has a slope of 5
For a line to be perpendicular to another the slopes have to be negative reciprocals of each other...mathematically...
s1*s2=-1
So for the other line to be perpendicular to the first:
5m=-1, m=-1/5, thus our other line (so far) is:
y=b-x/5, now we can use the point (-8,-1) to solve for the y-intercept, "b":
-1=b-(-8)/5
-1=b+8/5
-1=b+1.6
b=-2.6
So the perpendicular line that contains the point (-8,-1) is:
y=-0.2x-2.6
