Without that value, we can't solve your problem, unless you are looking for an algebraic equation.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Because midpoints were used to make similar triangles we can say
AC=2(DE)
5x+12=2(9x-20)
5x+12=18x-40
-13x+12=-40
-13x=-52
x=4
AC=5x+12
AC=5(4)+12
AC=20+12
AC=32
X=205
y=41
You come across these answers by making an equation or system of equations based on the word problem given. 1. x+y=246 and 2. x÷y=5 . The you would multiply by y on both sides and get x=5y . Then you would substitute for x in the first equation and get (5y)+y=246 . Then you would get 6y=246 . Them you would divide by 6 on both sides and get y=246÷6 . Then you would get y=41. Then you would plug the y value into the first equation. You would get that x+(41)= 246, subtract on both sides and get x=246-41, then you would get an answer of x=205.
There are two ways to approach this.
Option #1:
Use the slope formula
.

That value is undefined, so the slope is undefined.
Option #2:
Because the two points have the same x-value, they will be vertically above/below one another. This means your line is a vertical line and the slope of a vertical line is undefined.
Either way, your slope is undefined.
