Answer:
y = 56
Step-by-step explanation:
the midsegment SV is half the length of the side TU , that is
y - 9 = 
(y + 38) ← multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction
2y - 18 = y + 38 ( subtract y from both sides )
y - 18 = 38 ( add 18 to both sides )
y = 56
Answer:
the values of x, y and z are x= 2, y =-1 and z=1
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to solve the following system of equations.
We will use elimination method to solve these equations and find the values of x, y and z.
2x + 2y + 5z = 7 eq(1)
6x + 8y + 5z = 9 eq(2)
2x + 3y + 5z = 6 eq(3)
Subtracting eq(1) and eq(3)
2x + 2y + 5z = 7
2x + 3y + 5z = 6
- - - -
_____________
0 -y + 0 = 1
-y = 1
=> y = -1
Subtracting eq(2) and eq(3)
6x + 8y + 5z = 9
2x + 3y + 5z = 6
- - - -
______________
4x + 5y +0z = 3
4x + 5y = 3 eq(4)
Putting value of y = -1 in equation 4
4x + 5y = 3
4x + 5(-1) = 3
4x -5 = 3
4x = 3+5
4x = 8
x= 8/4
x = 2
Putting value of x=2 and y=-1 in eq(1)
2x + 2y + 5z = 7
2(2) + 2(-1) + 5z = 7
4 -2 + 5z = 7
2 + 5z = 7
5z = 7 -2
5z = 5
z = 5/5
z = 1
So, the values of x, y and z are x= 2, y =-1 and z=1
The point-slope form:
We have the points (3, -4) and (5, 1). Substitute:
The standard form: 
<em>multiply both sides by 2</em>
<em>use distributive property</em>
<em>subtract 2y from both sides</em>
<em>subtract 15 from both sides</em>
<h3>Answer: 5x - 2y = -7</h3>
It's a slope-intercept form where a slope = -1.5 and y-intercept = 3.
x - intercept: y = 0
Therefore we have the equation:
-1.5x + 3 = 0 |-3
-1.5x = -3 |:(-1.5)
x = 2
Answer: x-intercept = 2, y-intercept = 3
