The y-intercept of the function is -3.
x - 3y = 9
-3y = -x + 9 / -3
y = 1/3 - 3
I am terrible at math, so I am not completely sure!
Buuuut......I think the answer is A=21
(7/2b - 3) - (8 + 6b)
= 7/2b - 3 - 8 - 6b
= 7/2b - 6b - 11
= -5/2b - 11
In short, Your Answer would be Option A
Hope this helps!
The diagram shows that FG = IJ are congruent segments due to the double tickmarks. These are the hypotenuses of the right triangles.
So that takes care of the "H" in "HL".
The L stands for "leg", so we need to have a congruent pair of corresponding legs.
Due to the orientation of the triangles, it's not clear how the corresponding legs match up, but if any of the following is true
- EF = IK
- EF = JK
- EG = IK
- EG = JK
then we'd have enough to use HL.
