Answer: y = 3x-8
------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------
Explanation:
The slope is 3, so m = 3
The given point is (3,1) meaning x = 3 and y = 1. The x coordinate is always listed first in an ordered pair. The general format is (x,y)
We'll use m = 3, x = 3 and y = 1 to find the y intercept
y = mx+b
y = m*x+b
1 = 3*3+b ... plug in m = 3, x = 3 and y = 1
1 = 9+b
1-9 = 9+b-9 ... subtract 9 from both sides
-8 = b
b = -8
----------------
So we're given m = 3 as the slope and we just found that b = -8 is the y intercept
So y = mx+b updates to y = 3x-8. This is the final answer.
----------------
Side Notes:
* The slope of 3 means rise/run = 3/1 indicating each time we go up 3, we move to the right 1
* The y intercept -8 is the location on the vertical y axis numberline where the graph crosses. The point (0,-8) is on this line.
Answer:
x = 5√2
y = 5√6
z = 5√3
ΔABC ~ ΔBDC ~ ΔADB
Step-by-step explanation:
ΔABC, ΔBDC, and ΔADB are all similar triangles to each other.
By definition of similar triangles, the corresponding sides have the same ratios.
CD from ΔBDC corresponds to BD from ΔADB, and BD from ΔBDC corresponds to AD from ΔADB. So:
CD / BD = BD / AD
10 / x = x / 5
x² = 50
x = 5√2
Since ΔBDC is right, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for y:
CD² + BD² = BC²
10² + (5√2)² = y²
y² = 100 + 50 = 150
y = 5√6
Again, since ΔΔABD is right, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for z:
AD² + BD² = AB²
5² + (5√2)² = z²
z² = 25 + 50 = 75
z = 5√3
