Answer:
x = 14
y = 4
Explanation:
Ok so, just from looking at the two triangles i can tell they're congruent right triangles. I used different colors to show which sides of the triangle correspond and are equal to each other in my attatched photo.
So the side thats equal to x is the same length as the side that's equal to y+10 on the other triangle.
So we can write the equation x = y + 10.
Using this same method, the side that's equal to x + 2 is the same length as the side that's equal to 4y on the other triangle.
So, we can write the equation 4y = x + 2.
Now we have the equations you could rewrite to be in slope- intercept form so they're easier to graph. But a graphing calculator online would plot it just fine.
If you graph these two equations they'll intersect at the solution ( 14, 4 ). I'll include the graph in my images as well.
To check your answer, you can plug in x and y and see if the triangle sides end up being the same length. I did and it was correct.
So the distance between subway stop and house is 19 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance formula will be used to calculate the distance between home and subway.
Here (x1,y1) are the coordinates of first point
and
(x2,y2) are the coordinates of second point
Given
(x1,y1) = (7, -6)
(x2,y2) = (-9,5)
Putting the values in the formula
Rounding off to nearest unit gives us 19.
So the distance between subway stop and house is 19 units
