The question gives us two points, (−13, −19) & (13, 3), from which we can find the slope and later the equation of the line.
Finding the Slope
The slope of the line (m) = (y₂ - y₁) ÷ (x₂ - x₁)
= ((3 - (-19)) ÷ (13 - (-13))
= 22 ÷ 26
= ¹¹/₁₃

<em>Checking my answer:</em>
<em>We can now use the point-slope form (y - y₁) = m(x - x₁)) to write the equation for this line. If the line passes through both of the points then we calculated the slope correctly.</em>
⇒ y + 19 = ¹¹/₁₃ (x + 13)
<em>I have included a Desmos Graph that I graphed using the information equation (including the slope) and the points given. </em>
Answer:
1). x = 81
2). x = 84
Step-by-step explanation:
1). By applying geometric mean theorem in the given triangle,
56x = (18√14)²
56x = 4536
x =
x = 81
2). By applying geometric mean theorem,
16x = (8√21)²
16x = 1344
x =
x = 84
