The midpoint of a line can be represented by the point that is in the very center of the line. A line segment such as AT also represents half of the line. The symbol of the tilde with the equal sign underneath represents congruence meaning the two segments are the same. Therefore each equation shows the same true statement in a different form

Determine the expression you can substitute for y in to solve the system below.

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given are the two following linear equations:

f(x) = y = 1 + .5x

f(x) = y = 11 - 2x

Graph the first equation by finding two data points. By setting first x and then y equal to zero it is possible to find the y intercept on the vertical axis and the x intercept on the horizontal axis.

If x = 0, then f(0) = 1 + .5(0) = 1

If y = 0, then f(x) = 0 = 1 + .5x

-.5x = 1

x = -2

The resulting data points are (0,1) and (-2,0)

Graph the second equation by finding two data points. By setting first x and then y equal to zero it is possible to find the y intercept on the vertical axis and the x intercept on the horizontal axis.

If x = 0, then f(0) = 11 - 2(0) = 11

If y = 0, then f(x) = 0 = 11 - 2x

2x = 11

x = 5.5

The resulting data points are (0,11) and (5.5,0)

At the point of intersection of the two equations x and y have the same values. From the graph these values can be read as x = 4 and y = 3.

Choose the graph that represents the following system of inequalities: y ≤ −3x + 1 y ≤ 1 over 2x + 3 In each graph, the area for

Vanyuwa [196]

The graph that represents the inequality has been shown in the attachment.

<h3>How to solve for the graph</h3>

We have these equations

y ≤ −3x + 1

y ≤ x + 3

We remove the inequality sign from both of these equations

y = −3x + 1

y = x + 3

−3x + 1 = x + 3

such that

x = -0.5

we use this value for x in any of the equations

x + 3 = -0.5 + 3

= 2.5

the point of intersection is at 2.5, -0.5

we test for the origin. 0,0

3x + 1

= 3*0 + 1

= 1

for x + 3

0+3 = 3

This is 0≤1 and 0≤3

Hence the graph should be shaded to the origin.

A ladder is leaning against a wall. The top of the ladder is 9 feet (ft) above the ground. If the bottom of the ladder is moved

Komok [63]

Step 1

First situation

when a ladder is leaning against a wall

Let

x-------> the distance of the bottom of the ladder from the wall

L-------> the length of the ladder

Find the length of the ladder

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$L^{2} =x^{2}+ 9^{2}$ ------> equation $1$

Step 2

Second situation

when the ladder will be lying flat on the ground

Find the length of the ladder

In this situation the length of the ladder is equal to

$L=x+3$

square both sides

$L^{2}=(x+3)^{2}$ ------> equation $2$

Step 3

equate equation $1$ and equation $2$

$x^{2}+ 9^{2}=(x+3)^{2}\\x^{2}+81=x^{2} +6x+9\\ 6x=81-9\\6x=72\\x=12\ ft$

therefore

the answer is

the length of the ladder is $12\ ft$
