Answer:

2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope of the line with x intercept 9 and y intercept of -2

Given that the equation of the line is y = mx+b

x intercept occurs when y = 0

The coordinate of x intercept is (9,0)

y intercept occurs at x = 0

The coordinate of y intercept is (0, -2)

Slope m = y2-y1/x2-x1

m = -2-0/0-9

m = -2/-9

m = 2/9

Hence the required slope is 2/9

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

$MK\approx 87.7$

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, similar polygons have corresponding sides in a constant proportion. Therefore, we can set up the following proportion (ratio of corresponding sides) to solve for $MK$ :

$\frac{20}{13}=\frac{MK}{57},\\MK=\frac{57\cdot 20}{13}\approx \boxed{87.7}$
