The slope of AC is -0.4
Proof:
In triangles ABC and DBE,
∠DBE is common to both triangles.
AB = 2DB (D is the midpoint of the interval AB)
Also, BC = 2BE (E is the midpoint of the interval BC)
Thus triangles ABC and DBE are similar in the ratio 2:1
Since, they are similar, ∠BDE must equal ∠BAC (corresponding angles in similar triangles)
If ∠BDE = ∠BAC, DE must be parallel to AC (corresponding angles are equal along parallel lines)
Thus, the slope of AC = the slope of DE
Thus, the slope of AC is -0.4
To graph the equation, plot a few points then connect then with a line.
f(x) = 440 - 55x
Plug in numbers for x to get the y value.
f(0) = 440
f(1) = 385
f(2) = 330
f(3) = 275
f(4) = 220
f(5) = 165
So when you graph these points, the y intercept is y = 440 because the graph crosses the y axis at (0, 440).
The x intercept is where the graph crosses the x axis. This happens when y = 0.
0 = 440 - 55x. Solve for x.
55x = 440
x = 8
So the x intercept is x = 8
Answer:
2 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of VW is just the distance between the two coordinates. You could use the distance formula, or an easier and faster way would be to recognize that since both points have the same y-coordinate, the distance between them will just be the distance of the x-coordinates. The absolute value of -4 and -2 is 2, so the length of VW is 2 units.
Hope this helped! ;)
The answer is a.
4 P 4 = 24
The first one is X = 24 & the second one is x= 20
