Answer:
7/12
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the common denominator 24 so fraction would change to 6/24 + 8/24
that equals 14/24 and simplified that 7/12
Hello, Segment AP is congruent to segment CP.
Answer:
Slope intercept: y = -3/2x + 1
Point slope: y + 2 = -3/2 * (x - 2) [Forgot to add the work for this, I will add it if you need it, feel free to ask.]
Step-by-step explanation:
m = (change in y)/change in x)
But also
m = y_2 - y_1/x_2 - x_1
So lets substitute
m = 1 - (-2)/0 - (2)
Lets find the slope
m = 3/0 - (2)
m = 3/-2
m = -3/2 (Moved the negative)
Now we find the value of b using the equation of a line.
y = mx + b
y = (-3/2) * x + b
y = (-3/2) * (2) + b
-2 = (-3/2) * (2) + b
Now we find the value of b
Lets rewrite
-3/2 * 2 + b = -2
Cancel the CF of 2
-3 + b = -2
Move the terms without b to the right
b = -2 + 3
b = 1
Now we substitute our values of the slope and y-int into y = mx + b to find the equation.
y = -3/2x + 1
Assign the following variables for the origina3l rectangle:
let w = width let w + 8 = length and the area would be w(w + 8) = w² + 8w
No for the second rectangle:
let (w + 4) = width and (w + 8 - 5) or (w + 3) = length
Area = length x width or (w + 4)(w + 3) = w² + 3w + 4w + 12 using the foil method to multiply to binomials. Simplified Area = w² + 7w + 12
Now our problem says that the two area will be equal to each other, which sets up the following equation:
w² + 8w = w² + 7w + 12 subtract w² from both sides
8w = 7w + 12 subtract 7w from both sides
w = 12 this is the width of our original rectangle
recall w + 8 = length, so length of the original rectangle would be 20
