Answer:

Slope = \frac{4}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

(-9, -8)  & (-15 , -16)

Slope = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

          = \frac{-16-[-8]}{-15-[-9]}\\\\= \frac{-16+8}{-15+9}\\\\= \frac{-8}{-6}\\\\= \frac{4}{3}

Answer:

Δ QRS ≈ Δ QST ≈ Δ SRT ⇒ 3rd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given figure

In Δ QRS

∵ m∠S = 90°

∵ m∠S = m∠QST + m∠RST

∴ m∠QST + m∠RST = 90° ⇒ (1)

- Use the fact the sum of the measures of the interior angles

   of a Δ is 180°

∴ m∠Q + m∠S + m∠R = 180°

∵ m∠S = 90

∴ m∠Q + 90° + m∠R = 180°

- Subtract 90 from both sides

∴ m∠Q + m∠R = 90° ⇒ (2)

In Δ QST

∵ m∠QTS = 90°

- By using the fact above

∴ m∠Q + m∠QST = 90 ⇒ (3)

- From (1) and (3)

∴ m∠QST + m∠RST = m∠Q + m∠QST

- Subtract m∠QST from both sides

∴ m∠RST = m∠Q

In Δ SRT

∵ m∠STR = 90°

- By using the fact above

∴ m∠R + m∠RST = 90 ⇒ (4)

- From (1) and (4)

∴ m∠QST + m∠RST = m∠R + m∠RST

- Subtract m∠RST from both sides

∴ m∠QST = m∠R

In Δs QRS and QST

∵ m∠S = m∠QTS ⇒ right angles

∵ m∠R = m∠QST ⇒ proved

∵ ∠Q is a common angle in the two Δs

∴ Δ QRS ≈ Δ QST ⇒ AAA postulate of similarity

In Δs QRS and SRT

∵ m∠S = m∠STR ⇒ right angles

∵ m∠Q = m∠RST ⇒ proved

∵ ∠R is a common angle in the two Δs

∴ Δ QRS ≈ Δ SRT ⇒ AAA postulate of similarity

If two triangles are similar to one triangle, then the 3 triangles are similar

∵ Δ QRS ≈ Δ QST

∵ Δ QRS ≈ Δ SRT

∴ Δ QRS ≈ Δ QST ≈ Δ SRT

One number is 8 times as large as another. Their difference is 21. What is the larger number?
tigry1 [53]
<h3>Answer:  24</h3>

Explanation:

x = smaller number

8x = larger number, since it's 8 times larger than the smaller

8x-x = 7x = difference of the numbers

That difference is 21, so we can say 7x = 21 which solves to x = 3

The smaller number is 3 and the larger is 8x = 8*3 = 24

As a check: 24-3 = 21, which confirms the answer.
