Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

according to what I learnt, the general form of every equation is y=mx+c where y is the y value, x is the x value, m is the slope and c is the y-intercept so the equation y-3= -1/2(x - 2) in the general form wil be :

y= -x/2+4 and so m= -x/2 ,that is -1/2

Yes - they have to be similar.  Since they are using the same line as the hypotenuse, the ratio of the other two sides are in the same ratio (ie, the slope of the line), the 3 inner angles will be the same.  Thus, the triangles will be similar.

Citrus2011 [14]
Let's assume that the faster car has a 2 mile "head start".
The faster car is 1.2 times faster (48/40) than the slower car.
It will take five 2 mile trips to "catch" the other car.
Five 2 mile trips will take 5 * 40 seconds = 200 seconds.

in ABC the measure of angle A is 2x+3 the measure of angle B is 4x+2 the measure of angle C is 2x-1 what are the measures of the
Virty [35]


IN A triangle, sum of all angles = 180 degrees

2x + 3 + 4x+2 + 2x -1 = 180

8x +4  = 180

8x = 176

x = 176 /8 = 22 degrees

the angles are A = 2(22)+3 = 44+3 = 47 DEGREES

B = 4(22)+2 = 88 + 2 = 90 DEGREES

C = 2(22) -1 44-1 = 43 DEGREES

If 5y = 6x + 16 and 9x = 7y-20, what is the value of 3x - 2y?
Law Incorporation [45]

The value of 3x-2y is -4. From the equation 5y=6x=16 and 9x=7y-20 the values of (x,y) is (4,8).

Step-by-step explanation:

        The given equations are,

                 5y=6x+16.......................(1)

                 9x=7y-20......................(2)

                3x-2y...............................(3)

Step:1

    Modify the equations (1) and (2) in (x+y=constant) format,

                6x-5y=-16.....................(4)

                9x-7y=-20....................(5)

Step:2

     Equation (4) is multiplied by 7     ( ∵ 7×Eqn(4))

                42x-35y=-112..............(6)

Step:3

     Equation (5) is multiplied by 5     (∵ 5×Eqn(5))

               45x-35y=-100.............(7)

Step:4

    Subtracting Equation (6) and (7)

               42x-35y=-112

              45x-35y=-100

    ( - )

     (42x-45x)+(35y-35y)=(100-112)

     (-3x)+(0)=(-12)

    x=4

Step:5

    Substitute X value in Equation (1),

             5y=6x+16...................(1)

     where, x=4,

             5y= (6×4)+16

             5y=40

            y= 8

Step: 6

      Check for solution, substitute x and y values in equation (2).

                9x=7y-20.......................(2)

               (9×4)=(7×8)-20

              36=36

Step:7

      From given, 3x-2y

      where, X=4 and y=8

              3x-2y = (3×4)-(2×8)

                        = 12-16

            3x-2y = -4

Result:

      The value for 3x-2y is -4. The values of (x,y) are (4,8).
