Answer:

27 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Let <em>b</em> be equal to the length of the base.

Form a proportion:

\displaystyle \frac{2}{3} =\frac{18}{b}

Cross multiply:

3*18=2b\\54=2b\\b=27

Therefore, the length of the base is 27 cm.

I hope this helps!

Graph the following equation using X- and y-intercepts.<br> x + y = -3
Kitty [74]

Answer:

x-intercept: (-3,0)

y-intercept: (0,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the equation, we can see that it is already in standard form, or in a Ax+By=C format. Whenever a line is put into standard form, the x-intercepts are represented by (\frac{C}{A},0) and the y-intercepts are represented by (0, \frac{C}{B} ). So, let's calculate them by doing the following:

1) Find the x-intercept by using the (\frac{C}{A},0) formula. Substitute the number on the right side of the equation for C and the coefficient for the x term for A. So, in this case, C = -3 and A = 1:

(\frac{C}{A},0)\\\\(\frac{-3}{1},0)  \\(-3,0)

Therefore, the x-intercept is (-3,0).

2) Next, find the y-intercept by using the (0,\frac{C}{B} ) formula and substituting the right values. C is still the number on the right side of the equation and B is the coefficient of the y term. So, C = -3 and B = 1.

(0,\frac{C}{B})\\ (0, \frac{-3}{1})\\(0, -3)

Therefore, (0, -3) is the y-intercept.
