Answer:

x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure shows two similar triangles. Thus, the side lengths of similar triangles are proportional to each other. Therefore:

\frac{24}{24 - 15} = \frac{x}{x - 25}

\frac{24}{9} = \frac{x}{x - 25}

Cross multiply

24(x - 25) = 9(x)

24x - 600 = 9x

Subtract 24x from each side

- 600 = 9x - 24x

- 600 = -15x

Divide both sides by -15

40 = x

x = 40

Complete the equation of the line through (6,-6) and (8,8)
noname [10]

Answer:

y = 7x - 48

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of the line

y = mx + c

Step 1 : find the slope

( 6, -6) ( 8, 8)

x_1 = 6

y_1 = -6

x_2 = 8

y_2 = 8

Insert the values into

m =( y_2 - y_1) /( x_2 - x_1)

m - slope

m = (8 - (-6)) / (8 -6 )

m = 8 +6 / 8 - 6

m = 14 / 2

m = 7

Step 2: substitute slope into intercept form equation

y = mx + c

y = 7x + c

Step 3: substitute either point into the equation in step 2

y = 7x + c

Let's pick point ( 8,8)

y = 8

x = 8

y = 7x + c

8 = 7(8) + c

8 = 56 + c

8 - 56 = c

c = 8 - 56

c = -48

Substitute the value of c back into the equation

y = 7x + c

y = 7x - 48

The equation of the line is

y = 7x - 48

Norma-Jean [14]

A gardener measures every plant in her garden and notes that 28% are under 6 inches, 54% are between six and 8 inches and the rest are above 8 inches. if she wants to make a bar graph to depict her data, where should the vertical axis begin to ensure it’s not misleading?

Answer: Option C) 0 in is correct

Vertical axis should begin with 0 inches in order to ensure the bar graph is not misleading because 28% of the plants in the garden are measuring less than 6 inches.

If the vertical line begins with 6 inches, the 28% of the plants which are less than 6 inches would not be shown, thus leading it to be misleading.

If the vertical line begins with -6 inches, the negative numbers will be misleading as there will not be any plant with negative height

If the vertical line begins with 28 inches, we will be missing most our data as most of the plant's have height less than 8 inches
