30 is the answer of this equation
Answer:
(-2, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
5/2(3/4x + 1/3y = -1/2)
1/2x - 5/6y = -7/2
15/8x + 5/6y = -5/4
19/8x = -19/4
x = -2
1/2(-2) - 5/6y = -7/2
-1 -5/6y = -7/2
-5/6y = -5/2
y = 3
Answer:
Given: DB = 7.2 cm, AE = 1.8 cm and EC = 5.4 cm and DE || BC.
DB
AD
=
AC
AE
[by basic proportionality theorem which states that if a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle the other two sides in distinct points, then the other two sides are divided in the same.
7.2
AD
=
5.4
1.8
AD=
5.4
7.2×1.8
AD=
10
24
⟹AD=2.4cm
Slope Formula: y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
(m and slope represent the same quantity)
m = 1 - - 5 / -4 - 0
m = 1 + 5 / -4
m = 6 / -4
m = -3/2
Now that we know the slope, we can plug the slope and one of our points into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) and solve for b. I will be using the point (-4,1).
y = -3/2x + b
1 = -3/2(-4) + b
1 = 6 + b
b = -5
In point form, the y-intercept is (0, -5).
Therefore, to get the equation all we need to do is plug in our slope and b-value to slope-intercept form.
Equation: y = -3/2 x - 5
To check the point (-6, -14) we plug it into our equation and see if the two sides are equal.
-14 = -3/2(-6) - 5
-14 = 9 - 5
-14 = 4
-14 does not equal 4, therefore the point is NOT on the line.
Hope this helps!
