Answer: VT equals 62
Step-by-step explanation: In the square with sides STUV, the point W is a midpoint on the diagonal of the square such that the diagonal line SU is divided into two equal halves by the lines SW and WU. Also note that a square has two diagonals whose measurements are equal, that is, line SU equals line VT.
If the point W is the midpoint of SU, then we can conclude that SW equals WU. This means;
2x + 13 = 8x - 41
Collect like terms and you now have,
13 + 41 = 8x - 2x
54 = 6x
Divide both sides of the equation by 6
9 = x
Having calculated the value of x, remember that SW plus WU equals SU. And diagonal SU equals diagonal VT.
Therefore, VT is calculated as follows;
VT = SW + WU
VT = 2x + 13 + 8x - 41
VT = 2(9) + 13 + 8(9) - 41
VT = 18 + 13 + 72 - 41
VT = 62
Answer:
y= -2x +39
Step-by-step explanation:
y= mx+b
m is the slope which is given -2
since we don't know b we can solve the rest using the formula y-y1{ m(x-X1(
y - 15 = -2(x-12)
simplify
y-15= -2x +24
y= -2x + 39
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope formula is m=y2-y1/x2-x1
y2 is 71
y1 is 65
x2 is 7
x1 is 5
71-65 is 6
7-5 is 2
So the slope looks like this:
6/2
Simplify:
Which is 3
