Don't know how to express the value of X as any of those answer choices
1 answer:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
x = √(w(w+z))
Step-by-step explanation:
The idea with a right-triangle figure of this sort is that all of the triangles are similar. Here, x is the short side of ∆ABC, and the hypotenuse of ∆BDC. This suggests you want to write a similarity statement involving the short side and hypotenuse.
BC/AC = DC/BC . . . . . short side/hypotenuse
BC² = AC·DC . . . . . . cross multiply
x² = (w+z)w . . . . . . substitute letter values
Taking the square root and rearranging to the form of the applicable answer choice, this is ...

Slope-intercept form:
y = mx + b
"m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0)
You need to find "m" and "b".
If you look at the graph, when x = 0, y is 1, so the y-intercept is 1.
y = mx + 1
To find "m", you can use the slope formula and find two points on the graph and plug it in, or you can use this:
Rise is the number of units you go up(+) or down(-)
Run is the number of units you go to the right.
If you look at the graph, from each point you go up 1 unit, and to the right 1 unit. So your slope is or 1
y = 1x + 1
y = x + 1
