<h2>Answer:    y + 7  =  -3 (x - 1)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line (m) = (y₂ - y₁) ÷ (x₂ - x₁)  

                                       

                                          =  (- 7 - 8) ÷ ( 1 - (- 4))

                                         =    - 15  ÷  5

                                         =  - 3

We can now use the point-slope form to write the equation for this line:

        y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) where (x₁ , y₁) = (1, -7)

             y - (-7) =  -3 ( x  -  1)

              y + 7  =  -3 (x - 1)

Answer:

<h2>2.6</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we need to use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this.

The way to solve is by solving for AD by using triangle CAD and then using that result to solve for BD.

3.4² + b² = 6.5²

11.56 + b² = 42.25

42.25 - 11.56 = b²

b = √30.69

b = 5.53985559 or about 5.5

4.9² + b² = 5.5²

24.01 + b² = 30.69

30.69 - 24.01 = 6.68

b = √6.68

b = 2.58456959666 or about 2.6

<h2>EDIT: the other user is incorrect, here's why</h2>

3.4 + 4.5 = 7.9

6.5² + 4.9² = 7.9²

66.26 doesn't equal 62.41

Can someone help me with this
jarptica [38.1K]

The answer is:

x=-8

Because:

If you pick a number(-8) to fill in the equation written below

5x+20+5x=5x-20

After applying the -8 to x you get

-40+20-40=-40-20

When you simply the both sides you get

-60=-60

And that’s right -60 is equal to -60!

The perimeter of the scalene triangle is 54.6 cm.
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

b = 45.9 - c

Step-by-step explanation:

A scalene triangle has non of its sides equal.

Perimeter = 54.6

side a = 8.7 cm

side b = unknown

side c = unknown

Perimeter of a shape is sum of all its sides.

Perimeter = a + b + c

54.6 = 8.7 + b + c

Making b the subject

b = 54.6 - 8.7 - c

b = 45.9 - c

The value of b is (45.9 - c)
