Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
hello :
note :
Use the point-slope formula.
y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) when : x_1= -9 y_1= -3
m= 2 (the slope)
an equation in the point-slope form is : y +3 = 2(x+9)
means : y+3 =2x +18
an equation in slope-intercept id : y=2x+15
Area=side^2
if we say area=y and side=x
y=x^2
an euation is linear if the highest power of the variables is 1
y^1=x^2
2≠1
it is not linear (it's quadratic, fancy term for 2nd degree)
Answer: First option
Step-by-step explanation:
You have the quadratic equation given in the problem:

To find an equivalent expression you cacn factorize. Find two numbers whose sum is -13 and whose product is -30.
These numbers would be -15 and 2.
Therfore, you obtain the following equivalent expression:

If you don't want to apply the method above, you can use the quadratic formula:

Where:

When you susbstitute values you obtain that:

Then you can rewrite the equation as 
X=8.
Following the similarity statement, we know that AC is to DF as BC is to EF. The ratio would be:
24/(x-2) = 20/5
Cross multiply:
24*5 = 20(x-2)
Use the distributive property:
120 = 20x - 40
Add 40 to both sides:
120+40 = 20x - 40 + 40
160 = 20x
Divide both sides by 20:
160/20 = 20x/20
8 = x
