Answer:
m= -7
Step-by-step explanation:
using the slope formula, plug in the variables and solve
m=rise/run
m=y2-y1 / x2-x1
(x1, y1) = coordinates of first point in the line
(x2, y2) = coordinates of second point in the line
Answer:
segment EF over segment LM equals segment FG over segment MN
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangles are similar, not congruent, so any answer choice with the word "congruent" can be ignored.
The sequence of letters in the triangle name tells you the corresponding segments:
- EF corresponds to LM
- EG corresponds to LN
- FG corresponds to MN
Corresponding segments have the same ratio, so ...
EF/LM = FG/MN . . . . . . matches the first answer choice
EF/LM = EG/LN . . . . does not match the 3rd answer choice
<span>Naming of rays
Rays are commonly named in two ways:
By two points.
In the figure at the top of the page, the ray would be called AB because starts at point A and passes through B on it's way to infinity. Recall that points are usually labelled with single upper-case (capital) letters. There is a symbol for this which looks like this: AB This is read as "ray AB". The arrow over the two letters indicates it is a ray, and the arrow direction indicates that A is the point where the ray starts.
By a single letter. (I have not seen this done.)
The ray above would be called simply "q". By convention, this is usually a single lower case (small) letter. This is normally used when the ray does not pass through another labeled point.</span>
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
An angle bisector divides an angle into two equal parts. This means that you can set the two parts equal to each other and solve for x.
8x + 35 = 11x + 23
(8x + 35) - 35 = (11x + 23) - 35
8x = 11x - 12
8x - 11 x = (11x - 12) - 11x
-3x = -12
(-3x)/-3 = -12/-3
x = 4
