What is the equation of the given line in standard form using integers coefficients y equals -1.7 x + 8.5

1 answer:

6 0

If you want integer coefficients only, multiply the equation of the line by 10. I'm assuming you accidentally left off the "= 0" at the end: -1.7x + 8.5 = 0.

If that's the case, then multiplying the whole equation by 10 results in -17x + 85 = 0.

Here you have only integer coefficients.

Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since these two triangles are similar, the ratio between the corresponding lengths of each triangle will be the same.

This means the ratio between one side of each triangle (e.g. AD and DC) will be the same as the ratio between a different side of each triangle (e.g. BE and BC).

So, to create an equation for the sides which contain the unknown 'x', we must first find the ratio between the two sides by using a different set of sides.

On the right side we are given 9 for AD, and 18 for DC.

9/18 = 0.5

This means that the extra length of the larger triangle from the smaller one (AD) is half the length of the smaller triangle (DC). We can use this to make an equation for x:

If AD/DC = 0.5, then BE/EC will also = 0.5

BE = x+23

EC = x+41

Therefore:

$\frac{x+23}{x+41} = 0.5$
